Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how school leadership would be implicated in moral and character development among senior high students in Ghana. Mixed methodology study focusing on how transformational leadership practices affect students’ ethical values, school climate, and academic performance. Data were collected through semi-structure questionnaires and interviews with the 255 respondents composed of students, teachers, principals, parents, and educational officials from eight prominent senior high schools. The result shows transformation of leadership into a force that has positively impacted moral development in students through value enhancement of virtues such as respect, responsibility, and integrity and the result was analyzed statistically using ANOVA and multi-group evaluation to reveal the presence of significant relationships between leadership practices and improvements in student outcomes. It recommends transformation leadership adoption, moral education integration in curricula, stakeholder engagement, and continuous professional development of teachers. The study, therefore, concludes that effective school leadership is vital in offering ethical educational environments and developing responsible citizens.
