The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of leadership among secondary school principals within the Green Line in light of (gender, academic qualification, experience, and job title) variables. The study used the descriptive survey methodology, and the questionnaire as a study tool after confirming its validity and reliability, the participants were (444) individuals (346 teachers, and 98 female principals) who were selected using stratified random sampling according to job title variable. The results showed a high degree of leadership effectiveness among female secondary school principals within the Green Line from the participants' viewpoint over all domains, and that there were statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) in the domains of self-skills and administrative skills according to the gender variable in favor of females, as well as on the job title variable in favor of female principals, and there were no statistically significant differences according to the variables of academic qualification and experience. The study recommended reconsidering the mechanisms of appointing principals in secondary schools and giving females the opportunity to take over the leadership of secondary schools due to the skills that they possess.
