A set of questionnaires was administered to 96 administrators in 12 HPS of secondary schools category. The data were analysed and interpreted using SPSS version 16.0. The statistics used were descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Analysis of t-test, one way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation were used to test the hypotheses. This study found that the level of technology leadership practice was moderate with mean value at 3.934 and the practice of School-MSEQ among administrators was high with mean value at 4.729. There was no significant difference from the aspects of administration experiences and status pose of HPS administrators in term of the practice of technology leadership.
