Supervision of schools requires commitment and a heightened sense of professionalism to achieve educational goals. This study explored the experiences of public schools district supervisors in supervising school heads. It was conducted in selected school in Cluster 5 in the District of Labason, Division of Zamboanga del Norte. The phenomenological research design was used in the study. Five supervisors served as participants, and they were selected through purposive sampling. An Interview Guide was used to gather the data. The responses of the participants were analyzed using Moustakas' method of data analysis. The following were the themes formulated in the study: handling leadership and managerial challenges in schools; managing school heads’ attitudes and behaviors; and, supporting and empowering school constituents. Effective school supervision demands a nuanced approach to leadership, particularly in managing the diverse attitudes and behaviors of school heads while fostering an environment of support and empowerment. It is recommended that educational leaders implement comprehensive professional development programs that emphasize both leadership skills and emotional intelligence, ensuring school heads are well-equipped to navigate their roles successfully.
