In the United States public school system it is customary to call the
teachers Mr. or Mrs., not Master. There is a Principal who is the
head of the school. In private schools there is a headmaster. He is
still called Mr., very seldom called Headmaster although some do. My
son goes to a private Military Academy with a Headmaster.
