The development of information technology has had a significant impact on the field of education, including in the use of smartphones by students. On one hand, smartphones have the potential to serve as effective learning tools; on the other hand, they can cause distractions, addiction, and misuse. This study aims to examine the strategic role of school principals in managing smartphone use in schools. The research was conducted using a library research method by analyzing various up-to-date literature sources. The findings indicate that the leadership of school principals plays a crucial role in shaping policies, providing educational guidance, overseeing implementation, and collaborating with stakeholders. Transformational and democratic leadership styles are considered the most effective in fostering a responsible digital culture. School principals must also serve as role models and change agents in promoting digital literacy and media ethics within the school environment. In conclusion, the successful management of smartphone use heavily depends on the quality of leadership that is adaptive, participatory, and grounded in educational values.
