Both: main principal (sounds weird) was male, vice-principal was female. He retired a couple of months before I graduated and she became the principal. BTW, she was much better at dealing with students, staff etc than he's ever been, but he was much funnier (altho not by intention, and it used to be hard not to laugh in his face while he was talking -- we used to poke fun at him behind his back [and no, I'm not proud of this now, but I was different then]  * smile * )

Male for head and vice at the three schools I can recall. One of my Uncles and his wife are Principal and Vice-Principal at the same school (they had to apply for the job externally, so it was deserved, not back-room dealed ;))

In high school, we had a male principal. In junior high, we had a female principal who insisted on being called Ms., rode a motorcycle, and had a large boa constrictor on display outside her office - nobody messed with her!

I would say female but I'm pretty sure Ms. Derleath is a guy.

He was a major nerd!

Jody - Your principal sounds like that scary woman in the movie Matilda.

SueBee - She seemed really scary, but once she really helped settle a problem I was having with another student, so she was a decent person at least, and good at her job.

Seeing as how my high school went co-ed only one year after I entered as a freshman, the principal was male.

We had a "Head Master" at a while at my all girls school. Later, when he retired, the replacement was a "Head Mistress." She was quite strict, but I liked her better because I never felt as though she played favorites or was trying to be anybody's friend. Eventually I came to confide in her and turn to her when I needed help because I knew she was all business.

I am sure my HS had a principal, but I can't tell you what s/he looked like.

All principals and vice principals were male throughout my scholastic career. I believe that possessing a y chromosome was a job requirement for principals and vice principals at that time* in Canada.
