MCPS Principals $146,123; Fairfax Principals $110,426

Washingtonian Magazine is reporting that the median salary for a High-school principal in Montgomery County is $146,123. 


According to the same article, the median salary for a high school principal in Fairfax County is $110,426.


The last time the Montgomery County public had any detailed information on MCPS salaries was in 2006 when The Examiner obtained MCPS salary information for all MCPS employees (consultants and  staff benefits excluded). 


In 2006, MCPS principals were shown as making between $112,670 and $127,000 in the information released by The Examiner. 


In March of 2010, Superintendent Weast refused to release detailed MCPS staff salary and consultant compensation information to the public unless $2,111 was paid for the information. 


Citizens that wish to cut a check for $2,111 for this public information can send their money to:


Superintendent Jerry Weast
Montgomery County Public Schools
850 Hungerford Drive
Rockville, MD 20850
