• curriculum/course approval
• examination/evaluation and pass rates
• student assessment of teaching and courses
• library facilities

In addition, the Deputy Principal assists the Principal in representing the Campus at the many academic, professional and social events that arise each month. The Deputy Principal also performs such other duties as the Principal may assign, including acting on behalf of the Principal in the absence of the Principal.
