I'm in college and looking to become a school
administrator
(specifically, a high school principal). Based on some
preliminary web
searching, it looks like the standard route into school
administration is:
bachelor's degree -> teaching licensure -> teaching
experience ->
master's in school administration -> administration
licensure. However,
I've done extensive teaching in the past few years,
and though I want
to engage closely with students and teachers in my
career, I'm not so
keen on day-to-day teaching. Is there a way for me to
become a school
admin without having to work as a teacher for several
years? Could I
start working as a low-level admin out of college or
grad school and
then work my way up?

Thanks!
