Using your principal as a registered agent is a good idea from a practical point of view. Your renewal paperwork will come to the school, and it's far more likely to be noticed if it comes addressed to the principal than if it comes addressed to a parent. That's especially true if the renewal paperwork arrives during the summer. I took a quick look at Virginia's incorporation rules, and it looks like you would have to make the principal a board member. It's your decision whether that's a drawback, but lots of groups have the principal as a (generally nonvoting) member of the board.
