This qualitative research utilized a case study research design that investigated the school heads’ leadership and crisis management styles. It enlisted the participation of twenty (20) school heads using convenient sampling based on inclusion criteria. A semi-structured written interview based on Lawson (2021) was used to collect data. To display the narratives, the data were transcribed, examined, compared, and carefully categorized into several themes by using nVivo software. The findings revealed that school principals employed:1. Varied leadership practices; 2. Modeling leadership behavior; 3. Decision-making and communication; and 4. External support. This study's findings highlighted the need to apply situational leadership practices to strengthen school heads' instructional and administrative duties, particularly during times of global crises.
