The purpose of this study is to explore the practice of democratic leadership style in Oued Sakia El-Hamra high school as an example of Moroccan educational institution. The choice of this case is not meant to end debates persisting for ages by simply claiming that democratic leadership remains the only style that fits all educational institutions, and all other styles are a waste of time. Otherwise, it is an effort to determine to what extent this style is convincingly approved by the school staff to be the best appropriate style for the educational institution under study. The study intends to judge how and if any challenges of democratic leadership are recognized by the school management team and educational personnel involved in the investigation. This study also reconsiders the pros of democratic leadership as a desirable leadership style to numerous contemporary educational institutions. (Published abstract)
