Dear __________________________________________[Principal's Name],

I am writing to inform you of a decision that I have recently made, one that has not come easily but is necessary for my personal and professional growth. After much contemplation and consideration, I have decided to take a position outside of the education field.

First and foremost, I want to express my deepest appreciation for the unwavering support that you personally, along with the entire school administration, has provided me throughout my tenure as the school’s musical theater director.

I am proud of the achievements we have accomplished together and the impact we have made on the lives of these young individuals.

Additionally, I would like to express my gratitude for the collaboration and camaraderie I have experienced with my fellow fine arts department teachers. Our shared love for music and commitment to providing the best possible education for our students has created a supportive and enriching environment. The countless hours we spent brainstorming, planning, and refining our teaching approaches have undoubtedly elevated our collective efforts. I will deeply miss the stimulating conversations and creative synergy that defined our collaborations.

Finally, I want to extend my appreciation to the entire school faculty. From the custodial staff to the administrative team, every member has played a crucial role in creating a positive and nurturing learning environment for our students. The dedication and professionalism exhibited by each individual have contributed to the overall success of our school community.

As I prepare to embark on this new chapter in my life, I want to assure you that I remain fully committed to the well-being and prosperity of this musical theater program. I will work diligently to ensure a smooth transition for my successor, and I will continue to assist in any way I can during this process. It is my utmost priority that the incoming musical theater director is equipped with everything necessary to build upon the wonderful traditions of this award-winning musical theater program.

Lastly, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the countless memories I have made during my time at _____________________[School Name].
