The study sample consists of 233 public high school principals from the Ministry of Education for the academic year 2015/2016.

The results show that the value conflict level at the public high schools from the principals’ view is intermediate at each field and the total levels. The social value conflict came first, followed by the cultural value conflict, then the political value conflict and finally the economic value conflict. The results also show obvious differences at the statistical significance level ( 0.05) in the actuality of value conflict at the public high schools in Jordan from the principals’ point of view in all fields due to gender variable, except in the economical value conflict field. The differences are at the male teacher favor. On the other hand, the results don’t show differences at the statistical significance level ( 0.05) of the value conflict at the public high schools in Jordan from the principals’ view due to the academic qualifications and experience variables.
