Manasquan-Belmar Area Superintendents, Principals: 2018 Pay

Superintendent and principal salaries continue to rise, and making at least $150,000 a year is no longer uncommon for administrators in New Jersey. In fact, nearly 1,000 superintendents and principals made $150,000 or more in 2018, even if their district had only one school.

The Department of Education recently released its annual list of superintendents and principals and their salaries before the start of the 2018-19 school year. And the list of educators making $150,000 or more — a list that barely had any educators on it two decades ago — has grown in recent years.
