Hey, in America is the deputy to the head of a school a vice-principal, an assistant principal or a deputy principal? Or does it vary by region/institution?

I'm pretty sure it was always the vice-principal at all the schools I went to.

I've only taught school in California, and the term has changed over the years. When I was in school and when I first started teaching the title was Vice Principal. Since about 1980 the title has been Assistant Principal.

Growing up in lower Westchester, we had a Vice Principal in elementary school and then Assistant Principals in middle school and high school.

It's Assistant Principal where I live, and has been for decades.

In the area where I went to school (southern Tennessee), it was the assistant principal until the mid-to-late 1980s at which point they started using the term vice principal. Then about five years ago, they switched back to assistant principal.

You're welcome. I've always thought that the one useful thing to come out of my upbringing is the ability to cross-apply it to fandom for any and all references.
