No, the noun 'principal' is a common noun, a general word for:

  • first in order of importance
  • the head of a school
  • a leading or most important person
  • a sum of money lent or invested on which interest is paid
The noun 'principal' is capitalized only as the first word in a sentence, or as a proper noun when it is the title of a specific person.
