I think it might be a bit big (height-wise), and considering MacMillan might not be around much longer as a figurehead in the school, it might be easily outdated.
But it's a good attempt for a banner, in any case. ^^
EDIT:: However, I'm not sure I really like the blurry look of the city.

You didn't really merge the principal's image with the picture, you just sort of lowered it's opacity to the 20-30's, so it looks highly unnatural.
And filtering isn't quite photoshop, it's filtering. I suggest looking for communities that have open tutorials to learn the true tricks of the trade. I, myself, am going to sign up to a photoshop magazine. Every month it comes with a CD filled with brushes and presets and explains how to alter images. My favorite one was several months ago, where they taught you how to take a picture of yourself and put yourself on the poster for that Miami Vice movie. Taught you coloration, blending, and actual photo adjustment.
Just a protip.

*nods* I didn't really merge it because I...don't know what that means so I just cropped it according to the skyline, blurred the edges and lowered the opacity, like you said. Thanks for the tips, although they probably wont be put to good use. I don't really photoshop, I just futz around with it. Thus the title.
