Unless the principal taught a class you took IMO it should be an additional recommendation rather than replacing a teacher’s recommendation as it cannot speak to your performance in the classroom. It is fine to send in one additional recommendation, particularly if it says something different about you than your guidance counselor or teacher recommendations (for example people may send one from an employer, head of a group he/she volunteers with etc.).

If you have a good guidance counselor pose the question to him/her.
