     Larry Littlejunk 
"Why can't someone else teach P.E?"
Voiced by: Jason Bateman

The gym teacher. He's the only teacher who could actually teach and was even considered for the position of science teacher, but he lost the position thanks to Miracle's "nude" presentation. Even though he's in love with Miracle, he hates her ditziness so much that he insults her instead of admitting his feelings for her.


  • Totally Radical In the episode "Tackin'" where he poses as a "cool new kid" that tries to convince the kids that being healthy is cool.
  • Will They or Won't They?: He and Miracle are attracted to each other, but he can't stand her odd beliefs and attitudes which keeps their relationship from evolving.

     Ennis Hofftard 
"Catchphrases are for losers!"
Voiced by: Will Arnett
The English teacher. He has a tendency to not think through his plans, which usually makes whatever problem he was trying to solve much worse. Then again, he doesn't really think much about anything unless it's related to either avoiding work or a woman. He's a pretty talented womanizer, and was actually a dating teacher before becoming an English teacher.
  • Like Father, Like Son: His dad also has a comfort kitty of his own and while works for the army, doesn't do any fighting.

     Miracle Grohe 
"Babies are a gift from God! *deadpan* Drummers are creeps."
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miraclegrohe1.jpg

The science teacher. Despite her position, she's a very spiritual hippie and is also really gullible. It's implied that she likes Larry, but doesn't like his distaste for her spirituality.


  • The Ditz: She's a spiritualist hippie with very unorthodox beliefs, which often clash with Larry, or the science she's supposed to be teaching.
  • Doting Parent: She's often seen toting her baby with her.
  • Flexibility Equals Sex Ability: She attempts to seduce Larry by performing yoga poses around him in a way to flaunt her flexibility.
  • Hippie Teacher: Despite her being a science teacher, she's into things like crystals.

     Stuart Prozakian 
"I need a catchphrase!"
Voiced by: Will Forte

The Assistant Principal. A Perpetual Smiler who is the most oblivious character in the show, moreso than even Miracle. Before becoming assistant principal, he worked as a "prison clown" (shown to be a clown in a black-and-white prison outfit). He starts the series appearing interested in Larry, but starts to develop feelings for Sue, with him spending an entire episode trying to impress her. It's also all but stated that he's completely insane.


  • Ambiguously Bi: He's been hinted at being interested in Larry, Sue and Andrew.

     Sue Sezno 

"No."
Voiced by: Kenan Thompson

The principal (technically, she's just the "acting principal" due to an accident involving the last principal). As principal, Sue's stern, firm, and to the point. Despite thinking that she's Closer to Earth, she's just as unqualified as most of the other staff: she's hypocritical, lazy, and doesn't really care for the well being of her staff.


  • Meaningful Name: Her last name is pronounced "says no", and she indeed says no so much that it's her catchphrase.
  • Not So Above It All: Has her moments of selfishness and corruption.

     Muhannad Sabeeh "Happy" Fa-ach Nuabar 
"I am very fond of America."
Voiced by: Tom Kenny

The Arabic custodian. While he doesn't speak English in the first few episodes (being dubbed over by a translator), he does start to speak in very broken English later on. He lives in a shack on the school grounds.


     Andrew Legustambos 
"Speak up."
Voiced by: Nick Kroll

The flamboyantly bisexual drama teacher.


     Helen Klench 
"QUIET DOWN!"
Voiced by: Cheri Oteri

The librarian who often gets ignored or mistaken for inanimate objects. Despite her loneliness, she frequently talks and gossips with Andrew.


  • Cargo Ship: Tends to date/fall in love with inanimate objects.
  • Crazy Cat Lady: She's shown to be very lonely all the time and when we see the inside of her apartment in one episode, it's full of (live-action) cats.

     Willard Deutschebog 
"If I believed in reincarnation, I'd kill myself."
Voiced by: Henry Winkler

The German teacher. Despite being middle-aged, he's still heavily controlled by his mom. He starts off with a fear of driving and gets around by making emergency vehicles and hearses take him to his destination. He ends up obtaining the position of the school's driving instructor and uses the training car for his own personal transportation. Despite all of this, Ennis sees Willard as his closest friend and takes it upon himself to protect him from any perceived taunting.


  • Extreme Doormat: He's prone to being a suck-up with all the teachers, to the point of sucking up to HITLER of all people.
