The study assessed the extent to which Principalship Practices in Resource influence the Attainment of School Objectives in Cameroon. Inspired by Imogene’s Goal Attainment theory and The Principalship Model for the Attainment of School Objectives, the study was guided by three objectives, answered three questions and tested three hypotheses. The survey research design and the post-positivist (quantitative and qualitative research; mixed triangulation) method were applied and with a questionnaire and interview guide data was collected from 326 principals. Proportionate and Purposive sampling technique was employed to select 31 and 10 principals from the two regions (South West and Littoral). Applying descriptive (Frequencies, percentages, tables and pie chart) and inferential statistics to analyzed data, the results revealed that principalship practices in resource management influences the attainment of school objectives to the extent of 73.76%. This influence is comparatively strongest in financial resource management (with the extent of 96.25%), above average in human resource management (with extent of 73.04%) and the weakest but average is material resource management with the extent of 59.68%). From the findings recommendations were made to the Ministry of secondary education to restructure their policy on principalship.
