What’s with the outdated jargon?
Principal, School Leader—
In the 21st century the title should be Chief Executive or Educational Commander-In Chief.

As an educator in the secondary school’s host school, I wonder why this position is posted since the school leader that was there already met and exceeded these qualifications and added some more positives that are not listed. I hope the new school leader is as much of a role model and surrogate father as the old one was. Good luck.
