headmaster
Boarding school leader
A headmaster is the principal of a private school, particularly in British usage.
The term suggests traditional authority—a male administrator who runs the institution.
The headmaster called an assembly to address the incident.
Female counterparts are headmistresses, though the gender-neutral head or head teacher has largely replaced both in contemporary usage.
