To achieve the aim of this research, the descriptive research method was adopted in order to describe and clarify the studies related to the two variables of the present research, in addition to attempting to come up with theoretical generalizations that can be used. This research concluded with a proposal to plan the succession of the school principal in light of the Rothwell’s model, which consists of seven steps, each step includes a set of executive procedures that take place inside the school and through which succession planning can be achieved for the school principal.
