Everyone thinks the principal runs the school, but he or she also needs someone to handle clerical and administrative work, and that's the role of the school office manager. Generally, a school office manager needs an associate's or bachelor's degree in a business field, and can seek certification to boost their skills and job prospects.
School office managers support the principal by performing daily tasks throughout the school. School office managers can work in an elementary, middle or high school office setting. It is preferred that applicants have an associate's or bachelor's degree in business when seeking a school office manager position. Certification by The International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) can be obtained as well.
