The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine the community-oriented school leadership practices of a school leader at an elementary school within a colonia in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Analysis of interviews and observations revealed how this school leader employed a broad range of practices, strategies, and approaches to develop deep relationships between the school and community and to connect families to important social networks and community resources. Research on community-oriented school leadership and social capital theory are presented and utilized to analyze findings and identify leadership practices that support meaningful family engagement in marginalized communities. Findings revealed how the school leader created bonding social capital within the school community. As a result, parents and the school worked together to recognize their indigenous assets, identify and problem-solve common community challenges, and build mutual trust and respect. The school leader also created bridging social capital as she connected families with outside networks and brought important resources and services into a geographically isolated school community. Implications for future research and school leadership practice are presented at the conclusion of this article.
