Understand a word in a Sentence

hello everyone!

Here is my question, would somebody please share the answer with me?

Appreciate a lot!

The school which she is head of is closing.

What does the head mean in here?

the top of something, which means it is a noun? In that case, I reckon there should be a "the" before head,

Or

maybe it is verb? but there is a "is" before head, so it seems wrong to say it is a verb.

Then what it is? what is the meaning in here?

Thanks

Gerry

'Head' (n) is indeed the top position: for a school, it usually means 'principal'. The article is optional; 'head' can be considered a job title.
