The Principal will champion the school's unique mission of integrating rigorous academics, cosmetology licensure preparation, entrepreneurship education, career readiness, and workforce development opportunities.

Lead student recruitment, enrollment, retention, and attendance initiatives to meet enrollment targets and ensure long-term sustainability.
Direct talent acquisition efforts, including recruiting, hiring, onboarding, evaluating, and retaining highly qualified educators and support staff.
Prepare and present comprehensive compliance, academic, operational, and financial reports to the Board of Directors and charter authorizers.
Ensure compliance with all North Carolina Charter School requirements, accountability measures, federal and state regulations, EC and MLL requirements, reporting obligations, and charter renewal expectations.
Oversee implementation of Career and Technical Education (CTE), cosmetology, entrepreneurship, and work-based learning programs in alignment with the school's charter and mission.
Develop systems, policies, procedures, and operational structures necessary for successful school launch and long-term growth.
Collaborate with the Executive Director and Board to execute strategic initiatives and long-range planning efforts.
SCHOOL CULTURE, DISCIPLINE & SAFETY
Build a supportive, inclusive, and achievement-oriented learning environment that reflects the school's mission and values.
Establish and monitor Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) to address academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs.
Enforce student discipline policies and support programs while ensuring fairness, consistency, and due process.
Promote student leadership, character development, professionalism, and career readiness.
Ensure compliance with all school safety requirements, emergency preparedness procedures, and state-mandated drills.
Foster a positive school culture that supports student engagement, belonging, and success.
COMMUNITY, FAMILY & INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT
Foster strong relationships with students, families, and community stakeholders to maximize student success.
Serve as the public face of the school and ambassador for the Celeste Beauty Academy mission.
Develop partnerships with industry leaders, cosmetology professionals, colleges, universities, employers, and workforce development organizations.
Expand opportunities for internships, mentorships, apprenticeships, guest speakers, and work-based learning experiences.
Engage prospective families and community partners through outreach events, information sessions, and recruitment activities.
Build strategic partnerships that support student achievement, career pathways, and organizational sustainability.
