head teacher (UK) principal (US)

I think this is a person. Germans sometimes use what looks like an abstract noun, to refer to a person (e.g., die Bedienung - the waiter/waitress).

headmaster and/or headmaster committee

When my child gets a note on her rapport from the Schulleitung, it normally means a note from the school's director, or group of teachers including the Director, i.e. the Headmaster, mostly from the class teacher represnting the Headmaster/Director.

school administration

When referring to the principal and his cohorts, we can refer to them as the school administration in the U.S., but this would apply not just to the principal in case that's what your looking for. If you mean someone from the administration, that could be a school administrator.

This is a pretty general term however, so I don't know if it fits the bilol here.
