ABSTRACT
The leadership of the madrasah head plays an essential role in fostering a religious culture and improving student quality holistically. This study aims to analyze the role of madrasah head leadership and the implementation of religious culture in enhancing student quality at MTs Sunan Ampel Semeru Pasirian Lumajang. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The main subject of the study was the madrasah head, while supporting informants included the vice principal, teachers, educational staff, and students. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the madrasah head applies a democratic and participatory leadership style supported by exemplary discipline and religious attitudes. The implementation of religious culture is carried out through habituation of worship activities, routine religious programs, and reinforcement of school regulations based on Islamic values. This leadership and religious culture have a positive impact on improving student quality in both academic achievement and character development. The study concludes that the integration of madrasah head leadership and religious culture is a key factor in creating a high-quality and character-based madrasah.
