The 2020 global pandemic forced a shift in focus in how school administrators responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. The level of urgency to ensure continuity of learning to digital and remote learning was unprecedented. This study investigated the experiences of new school principals who began their new principalship role during the COVID-19 pandemic in the province of British Columbia, Canada. Through a basic interpretive qualitative approach and semi-structured interviews, twelve new principals from elementary, middle, and secondary schools shared their experiences, challenges, and supports they found while in their first year of school leadership. Their stories give new principals a voice in the literature. The findings were organized in individual narratives addressing each of the research questions. Each case was unique however, there were common themes across the twelve participants. The findings revealed common challenges faced by new school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The successes experienced by new school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic and the supports felt by new school principals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
