How could you say the word 'his'. It refers to the meaning that the principal owns the school?

It doesn't mentioned anywhere that principal owns the school.

Yes, Had should come in the place of has.

Had retired should be used there as it is an indirect speech.

'HIS' won't matter here, it should be 'THE' only, I hope.
