A principal is a head of an educational institute who is often hired by the government of the state and in some cases, the principal is the owner of the school. The main job of the school principal is to monitor all the managerial and administrative tasks that are being carried out by different people hired by him.
It is one of the most crucial posts in an educational institute because the working of the school, the performance of teachers and other employees, and the well-being and quality of education given to students largely depend on how effectively a school principal works.
The letterhead that the head of the school uses for written correspondence is known as the principal office letterhead. This letterhead does not represent a person who has been appointed to the position of principal. Rather, it represents the entire office.
So, when people see it, they consider it as a document that has been launched by higher authorities. They regard it more as the order or decisions taken by the head of the school being more valuable than those coming from any other position in the school.
The main components to be displayed on the pre-printed heading should include the following components:
Name and logo of the school:
The first and foremost purpose of any heading of the document is to make people identify the school easily. So, the name and logo of the school are important to mention whether a document is shared in the form of a hard copy or a soft copy.
The slogan of the school:
Almost every school has a slogan that distinguishes it from others. The slogan is generally mentioned just below the name of the school so that it remains connected with the school’s name.
Address and contact details:
The letterhead also serves the purpose of marketing and this is the reason, the contact details of the school are also mentioned in it. When a piece of information or a decision is issued from the office of the head of the institute, people often have different queries related to it. Therefore, they can get the contact details such as phone number, email address, and contact as per their convenience. A letterhead is never considered to be complete if it does not include the contact details.

More about letterheads
A letterhead is a pre-printed heading on the paper of a writing pad that a principal uses for written correspondence with students, staff of the school, and other individuals. They will never share any information on a paper which does not have a heading printed on it. A letterhead is the identity of the school. People become so familiar with it that they don’t even read the name of the school when they see the letterhead because they recognize the design and the look.
The message that is written beneath a letterhead gets official value and recognition because no one can doubt its authenticity. This is the reason, different positions in an organization like to have their headings on the documents that represent not only the organization but also their position.
When does a head of the institute use the letterhead?
There are different situations in which the chairperson of the school likes to share his/her message with others. Some common situations are:
- When a message is required to be conveyed to the staff of the school
- When the chairperson wants to issue an order to be followed by all the students at the school
- When the principal needs to communicate something important with the parents of the school children.
Why uses a template?
A template provides a pre-designed letterhead to a principal. This is the reason; a principal finds it useful to use the template. The template provides a sample letterhead that not only gives a unique design idea but also lets the user use the template as it is. The user can edit the content and customize the design as per his personal choice. Therefore, the user saves time.
