Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent principals implemented programs, policies and strategies to prevent bullying. This study employed a quantitative research design using survey methods. The instrument in this study was modified from its original version and utilized by Megan E. DiPaola-Allen in her study Elementary Principals’ Perceptions Regarding Bully Prevention Activities (2013). The survey was sent electronically to eight urban, eight suburban and eight rural public high school principals in Georgia through Survey Monkey. Of the 24 principals surveyed, 100% participated in the study. Findings suggested that more professional development could be utilized in this area and that identification of a universal definition of bullying was essential to understanding the topic and conducting future research.
