Abstract

This research explores the principal's strategy in enhancing students' academic potential through extracurricular programs at SMP Negeri 1 Hamparan Perak. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that the principal implements a structured strategy comprising planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. In the planning stage, students' interests and talents are mapped through surveys and consultations. Extracurricular activities are integrated with academic objectives and supervised by competent instructors during implementation. The evaluation stage assesses the impact of extracurricular participation on students' academic performance. The study shows a positive correlation between active involvement in extracurricular activities and improved educational outcomes, particularly in language and the arts. Supporting programs, such as literacy movements and English speech sessions, further foster an academic environment conducive to learning. The findings underscore the importance of strategic leadership in maximizing student potential through formal instruction and well-managed extracurricular activities that holistically develop learners
