Abstract: The purposes of the research were to discover how five successful middle school principals in North Carolina define vision and how they perceive that they communicate and implement vision. The intended outcome of the study was increased understanding of how middle school principals function as visionary leaders. Five principals, nominated by a panel of middle school experts as being among the most successful middle grades practitioners in the state, participated in the study. A set of guiding questions was used to interview each principal. In addition, site visits were conducted for the purpose of observation and informal interview of teachers, counselors, assistant principals, and students. Written documents, such as teacher and student handbooks, school improvement plans, and memos from the principals, were examined. The final data was reported as narratives or portraits of the principals and their visionary leadership.
