2. Yeah, a Vice Principal. In my schools growing up, the Vice Principal was usually in charge of discipline, so he/she would be the one seriously misbehaving students would be sent to. There were a few secretaries in our school, in a central office between the Principal and Vice Principal's private offices. One of them might have been the Principal's particular secretary, but not so's we'd notice. They dealt with notes to get out of class, took the parents' calls about sick days, relayed messages to students, and generally did the paperwork. That whole place was referred to as the office.
There was also the Guidance Department down the hall, consisting of people who helped plan and coordinate schedules, and advised about colleges/post-grad plans, and we just called that place Guidance. There was a secretary there as well.
But since every school is organized and officiated differently, according to size and town and all that, I think any way you described it would work, as long as you didn't use "head teacher" or "headmaster." *g*
