The relationship between school principals’ crisis management skills and school health was investigated in this study based on the opinions of teachers. The sample of the study consisted of 341 teachers working in public high schools in Çankaya district of Ankara province in 2021-2022. The research was conducted using the predictive relational survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods. The data were obtained with the “Crisis Management Skills of Primary School Principals” and “Organizational Health” scales. The results of the analysis revealed that there is a low level and positive relationship between school health and the “pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis” sub-dimensions of school principals’ crisis management abilities. The investigation also revealed that a predictor of school health was the crisis management abilities of school leaders.
