Mr. Joe Clark was the principal of Eastside High School in Paterson, New Jersey, from 1982 to 1989. The purpose of this phenomenological case study was to: a) describe Mr. Clark‘s leadership style as principal of EHS from the point of view of a select group of Mr. Clark‘s former students, teachers, and administrators; and b) determine what, if any, affect his leadership style had on the conditions at EHS; as well as on the lives of his students, teachers, and administrators, during and subsequent to their time at EHS. I conducted this investigation by giving voice to my high school, classmates, teachers, administrators, and myself; I attended Eastside High School from 1982-1986.
