The research method applied is a qualitative approach with descriptive research type. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observation and documentation. The research results show that the integrity leadership attitude of the principal at SD Plus Nurul Hikmah involves elements such as honesty, happiness in service, and commitment. Even though there are relatively minimal internal obstacles due to routine coaching and evaluation activities, there are external obstacles, especially from student parents who lack control over children's development at home.
