Secondary School Principalship degree programs

A master's in secondary school administration and principalship prepares experienced teachers to lead high schools and, in some states, middle schools as principals and assistant principals. It enrolls licensed educators who are ready to move out of the classroom and into building leadership, taking responsibility for instruction, staff, budgets, and school culture. The degree points toward a state administrator credential rather than a first teaching license, and it centers on the leadership, legal, and operational demands of running a secondary school.
