School heads are educational leaders where their principles are based on the seal of local good governance. Sex and highest educational attainment of school heads are very significant in educational leadership. The researcher strongly recommended that all school heads may still strive to improve more of themselves by pursuing graduate studies and by attending continuing professional organizations because these constitute highest premium not only for promotion purposes but also for their personal and professional development. To sustain the very high status of the educational leadership of school heads on the areas of the Seal of Good Local Governance, the school heads may put in their hearts the advocacy, spirit and service that the seal echoes. As well, the whole district of the Municipality may inculcate in them and religiously follow the regulations of the Seal of Good Local Governance. Educational attainment is deemed very significant in educational leadership of the school heads.
