Grammar fix
school principal
head of school
The person in charge of a school, responsible for managing teachers, students, and daily operations.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
The school principal greeted all the students on the first day of term.
In my opinion, the school principal plays a key role in creating a positive learning environment for both students and teachers.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: She is the principal of our school director.
Say: She is our school principal. / the principal of our school.
Don't pile up titles — 'the principal' or 'head teacher', not 'principal director'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Principal' (or 'head') is plain; 'chief administrative officer of the institution' is absurd.
Build natural chunks
