plural of principal; head administrators of schools or the most important people in an organization
From Latin principalis 'first in importance', from princeps 'first, chief', from primus 'first' + capere 'to take'
Remember the spelling trick: the principal is your 'pal' - that's how you distinguish it from 'principle' (a rule or belief)!
