The headmaster is the top administrator and head teacher at a school, and fulfils the duties associated with what is more often called a principal in the United States. The term is most common at private schools and overseas, though the Boston Public Schools system also uses it. The headmaster generally has final say in matters of hiring, firing and discipline. Respect the headmaster's authority and formally address an envelope before you send a letter to him.
