The findings of the study indicated that there was significant relationship existed between the teachers perceptions of the school principal leadership style and school climate, but some were found to be weak and negative. However, the analysis also depicted that there was statistically significant relationship existed between the two variables, leadership style and school climate and most of the teachers agreed that the principal exercised his leadership role rather than surrendering leadership to others. The high performing school leaders in every school as announced recently in fifth shift of Malaysia Education Blueprint was among the challenges faced by the school principal.
