This qualitative research paper evaluates the organizing processes of three secondary schools in Santiago, Isabela namely: Northeastern College High School Department, Santiago Vocational High School and La Salette High School specifically the allocation of managerial work and delegation. Based on a prepared model checklist, the paper tries to point out areas where the principals may share responsibilities with subordinates to allow the administration more time for more essential areas of concern needing their attention and concentration. Delegation is a crucial issue affecting the organization of the three selected secondary schools of study especially the Santiago High School, wherein all the tasks were handled directly by the principal to the detriment of the other areas of concern, in line with the instructional leadership and professional growth of the school. Northeastern College did better as well as La Salette, however, a little more improvement in the process will make them the best schools in managerial process. All three school principals have their assistant principals as well as other competent subordinates who can help them in their work, as learned and observed by this student in her further studies of the above-mentioned school organizations. For obvious reasons of professional security, authority is slightly shared especially with the Santiago Vocational High School. The absence of school manuals, both for administration and faculty, may be an indication of weak decentralization process for there is no guiding basis as to the delineation and delegation of functions to subordinates.
