Here is the School District of Jefferson's high school principal position description, and here is their high school associate principal position description.
The inclusion of hiring and supervision responsibilities at the beginning of the principal position description caught me attention and speaks to the overall importance of the hiring and supervision process to the overall effectiveness of the building. I was also suprised that the development and maintenance of excellence in the educational program was included so highly in the list of responsibilties for the high school principal. This speaks to the importance of the high school principal as the instructional leader of the building. The remainder of the high school principal position description concerned more managerial responsibilities, which I anticipated to see in the job description and did not surprise me.
Given that the high school principal position description was three pages, I was somewhat surprised that the associated principal job description was only one-and-a-half pages, and mainly consisted with assisting the principal with his/her responsibiltiies. The only responsibilities that were unique to the associate principal position description were those that addressed supervision of student behavior and lockers.
