Abstract
In this study, the investigator sought to identify the metaphors for administration of schoolprincipals as evidenced in the current literature and to describe the images that currently exist in the statements, beliefs, values, and daily routines of five schoolprincipals. Three metaphors of purpose-maintenance, survival, and vision that characterize the ethos of the principalship are explored. These metaphors appear to have significant implications for schools, for school administrators, and for administrator preparation programs.
