There is often a misconception that Principals have it easy, but before you get to deep into the program, I want to let you know the expectations of a principal. First, no more summers off. Yes, you still have a boss over you. You are in charge of bus schedules, assemblies, and teacher schedules, and rosters. On top of dealing with parents, an entire staff, building, and dealing with the state. Someone will always be unhappy with you, and you have to have thick skin. Good Luck!
