A high school principal seldom has a day that goes according to plan. The principal's schedule more often than not, is dictated by others and routinely extends several hours beyond a regular school day. It is a job that could easily consume one's life, to the detriment of finding and maintaining any semblance of balance between their professional and personal lives. Although at times, work or personal life may take precedence due to specific circumstances and/or activities, striving for the equilibrium of a healthy and balanced life allows the principal to bring their best to school and real life, both of which will reap the benefits (Rauh, 2005).
