The purpose of this research study is to measure the impact of governance on the organizational performance of schools in administrative, financial and pedagogical aspects. This governance approach will be approached using a methodology respecting several principles in terms of participation, transparency, accountability and evaluation (CSEFRS, 2015). Furthermore, we added in our frame of reference the primordial aspect of good governance, which is the new technologies. Considering the difficulty of an etymological and polysemic consensus on the concept of governance. It would be wise to set up operational indicators for applying this notion of governance with a perspective to enhance management skills, multi-stakeholder strategic planning, internal collaborative management, effective and efficient steering, control and evaluation. Methodology / approach: Our methodological approach based on a descriptive exploratory study. The researcher carried out an empirical study involving 20 principals of qualifying secondary schools from the Nouaceur-Casablanca region. Our measurement instrument is related to a survey which is appraised as one of the five principles of effective governance (transparency, accountability, participation, evaluation and technology). Findings: data analysis shows difficulties in applying governance principles, influencing organizational performance in administrative management. Additionally, the educational management and financial management of these establishments have seen a positive application of these governance mechanisms. It would be wise to apply the multidimensional aspects of governance, through the harmonious, complete and balanced integration of the three management mechanisms: administrative, pedagogic and financial management. The relationship between the study variables is demonstrated by the application of the five principles of governance, the results of the study recommended that we apply them to contribute significantly to improve the effectiveness of strategic planning, collaborative management and community steering.
