Abstract: This study explored the expositions of public-school heads in prioritizing stakeholders’ convergence as building trust among school leaders, particularly in the Davao del Sur division; there were eight (8) public school leaders who participated in the study. This study made use of a phenomenological approach to extract the ideas of the participants. The virtual in-depth interview was employed to gather some information regarding their respective experiences as they prioritize stakeholders’ convergence as building trust among school leaders. Using the thematic analysis, the following themes emerged: Negative perceptions of experiences in engaging with stakeholders, seeking participation and support consume time, and limitations and struggles encountered. The coping mechanisms of the public-school leaders in prioritizing stakeholders were giving importance to communication, strategic planning and involvement of co-teachers, and transparency towards stakeholders’ convergence. The insights drawn from the findings of the study were that communication was essential for the success of PPAs and effective collaboration among school stakeholders. They may continuously be innovative in designing school programs that would be appropriate for the improvement of the school and learners. The school leaders may continue displaying effective communication with school stakeholders and maintain effective collaboration to address any challenges. Involving stakeholders as they build trust was an avenue to enhance their competency in being influential school leaders.
