Abstract	The professional standards and performance of school heads play a crucial role in ensuring effective school leadership, yet gaps in these areas persist, particularly among Category C school heads in Region XII, Philippines. This study investigates their professional standards and performance using a comparative with descriptive correlation research design, assessing proficiency across five leadership domains: strategic leadership, operations management, instructional leadership, professional development, and stakeholder engagement. The study involved 156 Category C NQESH takers from the eight school divisions in Region XII, utilizing a modified survey instrument based on DepEd Order No. 24, s. 2020, for data collection. Findings indicate that school heads generally demonstrate professional standards at an "Experienced" level, though gaps exist, particularly in Developing Self and Others. Performance assessments reveal a need for targeted training, with stakeholder engagement being relatively strong but resource management and instructional leadership requiring improvement. Statistical analysis confirms significant relationships between certain leadership competencies and performance outcomes. Furthermore, variations in professional standards across divisions highlight the influence of local policies and resource allocation, while performance levels remain relatively uniform. The study also evaluates the general acceptance of a review package designed for aspirants, which received high approval but suggests improvements in cognitive structuring. Based on these findings, recommendations include targeted leadership development, context-specific training, mentorship initiatives, and enhanced performance evaluation mechanisms. Further research is suggested to assess the long-term impact of leadership interventions and external factors affecting school leadership effectiveness.
