As the principal, you are the face of the school. You’ll lead teachers and staff, set goals and ensure everyone is living out the school’s mission and vision as well as meet their learning objectives. Overseeing your school’s day-to-day operations means handling disciplinary matters, managing a budget and hiring teachers and other personnel.

Logistics, schedules, teacher and staff evaluations, and public relations fall under the purview of school principals. And you have to take the lead in planning Back to School Night and college admissions/jobs fairs. You will probably have the help of one or more assistant principals and/or auxiliary clerical workers.

As principal, you’ll typically work out of an office in your school’s main building. But you’re not confined to an office — principals often sit in on classes, host school assemblies, attend off-site meetings and represent their school at conferences and local or regional events.

Principals also frequently travel to the school district’s administrative offices to report to the superintendent. The head of school and board are your immediate superiors, and you will need to present reports, documents and other findings related to the management and success of your school on a regular basis.

You must ensure their school follows regulations set by local, national authorities. Every person who works for a school, from teachers to academic advisors to custodial workers, ultimately reports to you.
