The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design and data analysis was conducted using an interactive model. The results showed that public relations strategies were implemented in a planned manner through public needs analysis, issue mapping, and competitor evaluation to build the institution's reputation. The institution's image is influenced by the quality of educational services, teacher professionalism, school facilities, and harmonious relations with the community.
