headmastership
Top educator's position
The position or office of headmaster—the principal of a school, especially a private or preparatory school.
The term covers both the role itself and the period during which someone holds it: His headmastership lasted fifteen years.
Like the base word, headmastership sounds old-fashioned or British to American ears.
