Abstract Educational leadership practices play a role in shaping the learning environment and enhancing learners’ performance. This study was conducted to determine transformational leadership practices on academic excellence in the 1st Legislative District of Misamis Oriental during the School Year 2024-2025. This aimed to find out how the school head-respondents practice transformational leadership, examine the teacher-respondents’ assessment of their school head transformational leadership practices, find out the level of academic excellence based on the assessments of both school heads and teachers, and determine the significant relationships between the respondents’ assessments of transformational leadership practices and academic excellence. The study used universal sampling for school heads and random sampling for teachers. A total of 150 school heads and 300 teachers participated in this study. A quantitative correlational design was employed, using a validated leadership questionnaire and a researcher-developed instrument for academic excellence. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r).
Findings showed that school heads practiced transformational leadership, with individual consideration being most practiced and intellectual stimulation the least. Teachers rated individual consideration as highest, while inspirational motivation was rated lowest. Regarding academic excellence, learners' achievements and school heads’ performance were rated highest by school heads, while institutional success was rated lowest. Teachers rated institutional success as highest, while school heads' performance was rated lowest. In conclusion, transformational leadership practices are vital for academic excellence. It is recommended that school heads encourage intellectual stimulation among teachers to develop adaptive and transformational leadership skills, creating an active, learning-focused environment.
