Roles such as principal and superintendent are politically positioned to affect policy and are seen as a steppingstone to the school district administration. In the United States of America, Black women are few in leadership positions. In the 2019-2020 school year there were approximately 1,662 public high school principals in the State of Texas and of that number about 120 were Black women. Research has demonstrated that this disparity could be linked to the historical racialized caste system established in the United States from the time of slavery (Ogbu, 1979; Parsons, 2021; Wilkerson, 2020). While there is a plethora of literature to describe the perceptions of educational leadership from the perspective of those in the majority and from the perspective of Black males, the lived experiences and perceptions of Black women in the role of the high school principal are scarce in academic literature. This qualitative, phenomenological study gives voice to the lived experiences and perceptions of Black female high school principals in Texas and a position in the literature concerning secondary school leadership. The Black Feminist Thought (BFT) framework is used to establish a structure from which to analyze the data through a racial and feminist lens. The study results showed some Black women high school principals experience objectification and discrimination when it comes to obtaining and maintaining high school principal positions. Findings suggest some Black women principals report experiencing microaggressions in the workplace and experience challenges to being accepted by the stakeholders in their school districts. Findings infer some women felt timing and diversity in their workplace contributed to their experiences of working without any challenges related to race or gender.
