Abstract: Education in a country is said to be best described by its public schools. Much has been said about what the attributes of public school teachers should be, but unknown to many, there are actually ideals the Department of Education defined for school principals under Department Order No. 32 (2010), which are divided into seven (7) domains. The researcher employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods to capture the essence of the study.  

The interviews with the respondents yielded attributes that can be ascribed to a diplomatic public school head. Collated responses from the school heads and teachers surveyed yielded the following: a promoter of the emotional quotient (EQ), knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the education industry, updated with technology, focusing on teachers in order to address the needs of the students, team skills, and long-term planning while staying traditional.
