What to do with a principal's recommendation?

If a high school principal has offered to write a recommendation for a student, would that rec be submitted in lieu of the counselor rec, a teacher rec, or in addition to the typical recs? Also, would you say a recommendation from a principal is meaningful in general, or just extra paper that a college may not necessarily want? (I’ve seen some colleges state that they absolutely do not want more than the required number of recommendations.)

Thanks!
