This study aims to determine and analyze how the principal's management function contributes to improving teacher performance at SMAN 2 Menggala in the 2024/2025 school year. In today's world of education, there is a lot of competition. The output produced by the school must be in accordance with national education goals. The principal as a manager plays an important role in realizing these goals. In addition, teachers are also expected not only to transfer knowledge but also to be able to provide maximum performance. The principal as an education manager has the responsibility to plan, organize, direct, and supervise the entire learning process and human resource development in the school environment. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of managerial functions by the principal, especially in terms of planning, professional training, providing motivation, and work evaluation, has a positive impact on improving teacher performance, both in terms of responsibility, discipline, and creativity in teaching. This study concludes that the effectiveness of principal management plays a very important role in creating a supportive work climate and improving the quality of education as a whole.
