The focus of the problem in this research is the transformative leadership of the school principal in improving the quality of Islamic religious education at Public High Schools in Palu City. This study used multiple qualitative research methods. Data was gathered through field observation, in-depth interviews, and written document analysis. The research subjects were school principals, vice principals for curriculum affairs, Islamic religious education teachers, and students. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. The results of this study show that the transformative leadership of school principals in three public high schools in Palu City includes leadership that influences teachers, staff, students, and parents. They work synergistically according to the institution's vision, mission, and goals. The school principals are concerned and always encourage the achievements of the school community, respond to change, and be optimistic about future aims. Meanwhile, the quality of Islamic religious education in three public high schools was reflected in the fact that Islamic religious education learning runs in accordance with the national standard curriculum. Students' abilities and awareness were increasing in practicing the values of Islamic teachings, religious extracurricular activities were also running actively, higher student participation in religious extracurricular activities, and student's grades.
