This study explored the strategic management plans of public school principals in primary education, focusing on their theoretical underpinnings, alignment with legal mandates, appropriateness, financial support, implementation, and evaluation. The research used documentary content analysis to examine strategic management plans from diverse public schools in the Schools Division of Romblon. Semi-structured interviews with principals provided additional insights. The study revealed that educational theories and models, such as SWOT Analysis, Balanced Scorecard, and Theory of Change, are effective in guiding decision-making. Strong alignment with legal and curricular mandates was observed, though challenges related to resource constraints and rapid policy changes were noted. The appropriateness of objectives, activities, and assessment tools was evident, with clear linkages to the school vision. However, disparities in financial support posed implementation challenges. Successes included improved student outcomes and community engagement, while lessons emphasized flexibility and stakeholder involvement. The evaluation employed diverse methods and criteria, informing future planning. The findings highlight the critical role of comprehensive strategic management in enhancing educational quality and principals' leadership. Recommendations include ongoing professional development, increased financial support, stakeholder engagement, and adoption of comprehensive evaluation frameworks.
