Abstract : This study examined how school heads strengthened the School Governance Council (SGC) toward improved school management in Gubat South District, Sorsogon. Specifically, it determined the influence of SGC participation and engagement, identified leadership strategies employed by school heads, assessed the level of collaboration between school heads and SGCs, determined the challenges encountered in strengthening the councils, and proposed an intervention plan. The study employed an embedded mixed-methods research design involving twenty (20) elementary school heads selected through total enumeration. Data were gathered through questionnaire and interviews.

Keywords : School Governance Council, School Head Leadership, Participatory Governance, Stakeholder Participation, School Management.
