A questionnaire was used to co llect data from the teachers regarding th e ir perceptions o f an SDA academy orinc ipa l's effectiveness in fiv e functional areas o f administration. The data were f i r s t analyzed descrip tive ly . Then four hypotheses were tested fo r s ta t is t ic a l significance by independent t te s t and one-way analysis of variance for repeated measures. Conclusions 1. Teachers d iffe red s lig h tly in th e ir perceptions of the prin ­ c ipa l's effectiveness in the fiv e functional areas of adm inistration. 2. Overall results showed that teachers strongly agreed that the orincipal was e ffe c tiv e in sp iritu a l clim ate. 3. Teachers also agreed that the principal was e ffec tive in management. The school principal needed to improve in the other areas, especially in school-community re lations . A. Teachers with most experience in teaching (ten or more years of teaching) perceived the principal to be most e ffe c tiv e in school management and least e ffe c tiv e in curriculum and instruction . Recommendations 1. Academy orincipals should attempt to discover how the classroom teachers perceive the p rincipals ' effectiveness and try to enter into some kind o f dialogue between themselves and the teachers for mutual development in th e ir re lations.

When h iring academy p rin c ip a ls , preference should be given to candidates who demonstrate a b i l i t y to lis te n to others and are s k il lfu l in human relations as well as in adm inistrative and super­ vising competencies. 3. Teachers' perceptions of p rin c ip a l's effectiveness can be used as part of a needs assessment in order to plan a practical and e ffec tive in -serv ice training for those academy principals already on
