In every great school, you’ll find academic leaders making a significant impact on the lives of their students. While many of these leaders contribute to a school’s success, the most visible role of all is that of principal. Principals have oversight of their school’s operations, coordinating daily activities, curricula, staff, and schedules. They are ultimately responsible for the learning environment in elementary, middle, and high schools. They set academic goals and empower teachers with the necessary resources to align their classrooms with those aims. Other school administrators, such as superintendents, who oversee school operations for an entire district, have an essential role to play in creating effective academic settings as well. Administrators ensure that school environments are safe and comfortable for students, and they manage policies and procedures so that teachers can focus on educating. They also provide appropriate curricula and mentor school employees to become leaders. Other administrator roles include assistant superintendent, assistant principal, and athletic director.
