The correct way to write the sentence is:

A. The principal of our high school will give a lecture this Thursday on writing application essays to Ivy League colleges.

In this option, "principal" is not capitalized since it is a common noun, "high school" is also not capitalized as it is a general term, and "Ivy League" is properly capitalized as it is a specific name.
