Development of the President Principal Model in Catholic High Schools

The President/Principal model represents an evolutionary change in Catholic Secondary administration from a 'mom and pop' organizational structure to a 'professional bureaucracy.' Recent reports that over 50% of Catholic secondary schools employ the president/principal or head of school model, and another 14% anticipate changing to the model in the next few years. This unprecedented national shift in Catholic administrative structures in just a little over a decade presents an obvious question: How prepared are Catholic educational leaders to reap the full benefits of this new model?
