Technology Integration: Key to Strategic Success Among Public High School Administrators in Legazpi City Division

In the digital era, technology integration has become the primary means of achieving efficient administration. This paper aims to investigate how digital technologies are a vital key to successful strategies of school administrators in the Legazpi City Division. Objectives: The research seeks to assess the availability of technology, identify obstacles in managing records, property, and finances, evaluate differences in respondents' perceptual viewpoints, and formulate a sustainable strategy. The research covers Public High School Administrators and ICT Coordinators in the Legazpi City Division during the 2025-2026 school year. A descriptive-evaluative approach was used in conducting this study using Weighted Mean and Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance. It is found that there is extremely high technology saturation; however, a "Digital Skill Divide" exists among them as well. Whereas school administrators struggle with data entry and the mandatory use of information systems, ICT coordinators focus on data security. Nonetheless, the statistical assessment demonstrates the existence of a "Unified Problem Consciousness." To achieve strategic data resilience, one should abandon the current paradigm and move to more advanced solutions. With a proposed Project STRIDE, manual data entry will be replaced, benefiting institutions.
