[[folder: Billy Loomer]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_6132.png]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/KyleSwann

The school bully who frequently targets Ned and has a crush on Moze. He dated Suzie for most of season 2.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: He unintentionally won Suzie over by being his normal bully self. Missy also dated him for a bit, though she had her own selfish reasons.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: He's apparently had problems with eighth-graders in detention. Moze has apparently beaten him up in the past, and sent him and his gang running when she threatened to do so again. Lastly he and his gang once immediately backed off from attacking Ned when Doris Trembly stepped in to defend him.
* AmazonChaser: He's absolutely in love Moze throughout all three seasons. When she flipped him on his back during their self-defense class, he had a dazed look on his face and commented on how "awesome" it was.
* TheBully: Though no one appears to be particularly afraid of him. By the end of the show people treat him more as a nuisance than a bully.
* CleansUpNicely: When he dresses nicer and combs his hair, both Moze and Suzie agree that he can be handsome.
* FriendlyEnemy: At times he's willing to ally with his usual bully victims. When he's not picking on Ned and Cookie he can actually be pretty chummy with them.
* HiddenDepths: He can sometimes be romantic and even poetic, especially towards Moze.
* HopelessSuitor: To Moze.
* {{Jerkass}}: He and his minions enjoy picking on other students, especially Ned, Cookie, and Coconut Head.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has his decent moments, and seems to really care about Moze.
* LastNameBasis: To the point where people are surprised to find out he has a first name.
* TheLeader: Of his GangOfBullies.
* LoveRedeems: In a way. He changed so Moze would love him. [[spoiler:It failed--he caught Suzie's eye instead.]]
* MeaningfulName: The Looming Bully. Incidentally, it also sounds a lot like [[Film/{{Scream 1996}} Billy Loomis]].
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: When Moze comes onto him in the finale to make Ned jealous, he's immediately turned off.
* PairTheSpares: He gets back together with Suzie in the end, with little to no build up.
* RealMenWearPink: A bully who writes poetry. His friend Crony is in the sewing club.
%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
* TerribleTrio: With Crony and Buzz.

[[caption-width-right:206:[[labelnote:After her makeover]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_780.png[[/labelnote]]]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RachelSibner

A nerdy girl with a crush on Cookie that he generally ignored for seasons 1 and 2. Eventually had her braces removed and got contacts, getting the attention of a considerable amount of boys, including Cookie.
----

[[folder: Jerry Crony and Buzz Rodriguez]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TeoOlivares, (Crony) Creator/ReccieCanon (Buzz)

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In season 1, they were occasionally joined by two or three other bullies. It didn't take long for the gang to consist merely of these two and Loomer.

An upperclassman who likes Moze.

A mean popular girl who appeared in season 1 only.

* MirrorCharacter: She and Suzie Crabgrass are enemies in the first season, but they eventually realise the reason they've been butting heads is that they're so similar in their athletic abilities and competitiveness.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He believes he's a suave and sophosticated individual, when he's actually a pretty average (if admittedly brilliant) middle schooler.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: He's apparently had problems with eighth-graders in detention. Moze has apparently beaten him up in the past, and sent him and his gang running when she treated to do so again. Lastly he and his gang once immediately backed off from attacking Ned when Doris Trembly stepped in to defend him.

* {{Gasshole}}: Only for one episode, where she burped the alphabet for a talent show and was seen practising her burping beforehand.

* ForcefulKiss: Plants 4 of these on Ned in “Popularity”, ”Competiton”, “Money”, and “Spring Fever”.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she's abrasive and overly competetive, she's among one of the students who helps teach Ned how to organize and plan out his life.

* DiscoDan: Intentional, as his whole thing is being inspired by ''Series/MiamiVice''. He wears a white suit with a pink or blue shirt underneath and 80s sunglasses. His office is also full of flamingos, the state bird of Florida, along with 80s decor.

* HiddenDepths: Turns out his Miami Vice cop sthick is not an act; he actually was inspired by the show (or something like it) as a boy and would become one as an adult. However, he realized that being a police officer wasn't at all like how it's depicted on TV and realized what he wanted was to help people. He also realized that in his experiences, many of the criminals became criminals because of problems back as teenagers. As such, he went into education so that he could help students before they would become criminals.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Averted as she said to Cookie and Evelyn in "Guide to Health and Jealousy" that she's not the jealous type. Even when she was more obsessive towards him, she didn't seem to mind when he danced with Martika.

* GlassesGottaGo: Cookie and the other nerdy guys became smitten with her when she switched to contacts.

* OneOfTheBoys: She hangs out mostly with Ned and Cookie, doesn't have any actual female friends (until she eventually befriends Suzie), hates skirts (and had to be dared to wear a flowery dress), likes sports, couldn't care less about many girly things, such as boy bands and gossip, trash-talks during volleyball games (according to Coach Dirga, Moze gives some of the best [and worst] trash-talks she's ever heard), can and does beat people up, and is aggressively athletic and very competitive.

* SingleGirlSeeksMostPopularGuy: Seth Powers, the DumbJock, in season 1.

* VitriolicBestBuds: She flings insults and punches at Ned and Cookie, but it's obvious she sees them as her closest friends.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: She dated Loomer, the school bully. True to this trope, [[ICanChangeMyBeloved she tries to reform him]] but he unintentionally won her over by being his normal bully self.

* GossipyHens: She's the premier source of gossip in the school. She grows out of it as time goes on.

* TheRival: Moze's rival at everything.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: He unintentionally won Suzie over by being his normal bully self.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Averted as she said to Cookie and Evelyn in "Guide to Health and Jealousy" that she's not the jealous type.
* DudeMagnet: In the third season, she suddenly gets a lot of attention from her male classmates, especially Cookie.

* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: With Cookie. She spends the first two seasons as Cookie's AbhorrentAdmirer, but she gets a makeover in the next season and she's too popular with the other boys to pay much attention to him.
[[/folder]]

* IconicItem: Is almost always seen with a basketball spinning on his finger

* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Invoked when she dates Loomer - she was just trying to freak out her parents to make them send her on a trip to Paris.
* DudeMagnet: She is seen as the second-hottest girl in school after Moze. In "Valentine's Day", she gets 23 roses while Moze gets 31. She's not happy about this difference.

* PetTheDog: She generously gives Tracy a very flattering makeover in "Guide To: Shyness" to help her overcome her shyness.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: There was a different AlphaBitch named "Bitsy" in a couple of episodes of Season 1. Missy took over in Season 2 and Bitsy [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome vanished without a trace.]]

* {{Foil}}: Whereas Crony has curly hair, Buzz is bald.

* TokenMinorityCouple: With Backpack Boy.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Season 3. However, this is justified since they were older than Ned and probably went on to high school.

* OppositesAttract: With Seth when they get together, being he's a jock and she's one of the nerds. She’s also quite intelligent while Seth is kind of ditzy.

* AsianAndNerdy: Subverted; he appears to be a pretty average student.

* TheGlassesGottaGo: Ned seems to find them attractive when they take off their glasses.

* HeelFaceTurn: In his first appearance, he was just using Moze to get his old girlfriend back. In his next appearance, he genuinely likes her and feels awful for what he did.

[[folder: Gordy]]
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gordy_3370.PNG]]
[[caption-width-right:200:"But that's it! Today is also the weasel's last day at school!"]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/DaranNorris

->''"You know, if I did my job once in a while, you wouldn't even need that [school beautification] squad."''

The school Day Janitor who helps the kids with their problems and is essentially a fourth member of the main trio.

* AlmightyJanitor: He's far more well-connected than you'd expect of a simple janitor. He sometimes implies that he used to have a high-level position in the government. He also wrote a novel that apparently was good enough for iTeacher to have done her thesis on.
* BreakoutCharacter: His popularity is on par with the main cast, granting him a much bigger role from Season 2 onward.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Subverted/inverted in "The New Kid," where another janitor competes for Gordy's position. Gordy keeps the job... not because of his competence (the other janitor was in fact a lot better), but because he was shown to care more about the students than his competition did.
* CatchPhrase: "I'll let the night guy handle it."
* DirtyOldMan: DefiedTrope.
-->'''Cookie:''' So, do you think the new Lisa's hot?
-->'''Gordy:''' Um... I can't answer that, due to the fact that I'm ''forty.''
* DrivenToMadness: Happens a number of times following his failed weasel-catching attempts.
* ManChild: He doesn't act his age, at least at school. There are some indications that he lives the life of a bachelor after hours.
* MysteriousPast: The details of his past are infrequent, but he apparently once got beat up so badly for wearing his sister's pants he can't remember that day at all, went to multiple military schools after flunking all his tests, and apparently got kicked out of medical school for paying somebody to take his tests for him.
* OneOfTheKids: He spends more time getting into zany schemes with Ned and Cookie than he does doing his job. To his credit, he won't do anything that will cause too much damage, but mostly because he'll have to clean it up.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: In season 2.
* RoadrunnerVsCoyote: With the weasel. Taken to the extreme in "Guide to: Math", where Gordy uses techniques straight out of a Looney Tunes short (boulder slingshot, rocket skates) and even uses a sign for dialogue like Wile E. Coyote would.

[[folder: Vice-Principal Crubbs]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/HamiltonMitchell

The Vice-Principal of the School who acts like a cop and hams it up.

* CatchPhrase: "Do [[MadLibsCatchphrase [Insert action]]] or you're fired!" or just "You're fired!"
* CoolShades: The different way to mess with his sunglasses are spoofed in many ways, including by not limited to an over-the-top GlassesPull.
* DiscoDan: Intentional, as his whole thing is being inspired by ''Series/MiamiVice''. He wears a white suit with a pink or blue shirt underneath and 80s sunglasses. His office is also full of flamingos, the state bird of Florida, along with 80s decor.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He is a self-aggrandizing goofball, but he draws the line at embezzlement.
* HiddenDepths: Turns out his Miami Vice cop sthick is not an act; he actually was inspired by the show (or something like it) as a boy and would become one as an adult. However, he realized that being a police officer wasn't at all like how it's depicted on TV and realized what he wanted was to help people. He also realized that in his experiences, many of the criminals became criminals because of problems back as teenagers. As such, he went into education so that he could help students before they would become criminals.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's often boorish and rude, sometimes unreasonably so, but at the end of the day he does genuinely care about the students and sometimes even gives good advice to them. In fact, he became an educator when he realizes that many criminals became as such due to unresolved problems from their youth,
* LargeHam: Most of the time he acts like he's starring in a procedural.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has one that [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong is totally not cribbed from]] ''Series/MiamiVice''. It adds to his character of a would-be cop and his history of wanting to be one in Miami, thinking it would be like TV.
* TheMentor: He tries to be this for Ned in "Career Week" when testing suggests the boy could successfully pursue a career in education. It works better than Ned was initially willing to admit.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Of all of the authority figures in Polk, he is far more uptight and by-the-book. Probably a leftover from his time as a cop.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He is added towards the end of Season 2, but only some episodes have him in the opening titles, particular, any episodes where Gordy or Mr. Monroe don't appear, leaving him to be credited in their place.
* RealMenWearPink: As part of his Miami Vice theme, he often wears pink shirts, and has pink flamingos ''everywhere'' in his office.
* StealthPun: He’s the school’s vice principal who acts like a [[Series/MiamiVice vice cop]].
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Defied by Ned, Moze, and Cookie. When their first principal leaves his position and it looks like Crubbs will get the role, Dr. Wright gets promoted to principal instead.
* WantingIsBetterThanHaving: He actually achieved his childhood dream of becoming a Miami police officer, but found it unfulfilling because the job wasn't like how it's depicted on TV and he couldn't really help criminals, just arrest them. Thus, he made the switch to education.

[[folder: Mr. Sweeney]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/DonCreech

The science teacher who is seen as a SadistTeacher by most of the students.

* BatmanGambit: In one episode when he was having a test coming up, he scolded Ned for his notebook and told him about the "Golden Notebook" that belonged to a former ace student, saying that if he was anything like it, he may have a chance of passing the test. Ned switched the notebook with a replica and aced the test. As he was putting it back, Sweeney caught Ned and revealed that it was him that wrote the notebook.
-->'''Sweeney:''' I just made up that story because I learned a long time ago that ''some'' students need to be tricked in order to learn.\\
'''Ned:''' But why didn't you just loan it to me?\\
'''Sweeney:''' [[JerkassHasAPoint Because then it would've been just another boring assignment for you to ignore.]] ''(Ned nods in agreement)'' And you wouldn't have gotten an A on the test. And now, [[PetTheDog caramel covered apples with nuts to celebrate a job well-done.]]
** He has a villainous one in another episode. When the students were planning to do the "atomic flush" by flushing all the toilets in the school at once, thereby hopping the entire school off the ground. Knowing that every single toilet would have to be flushed, he boarded himself inside the teachers' lounge bathroom, ensuring that it wouldn't happen. [[NotSoAboveItAll Though he still helped accomplish it in the end]].
* BigBad: In some episodes, such as "Class Clown", "Detention", and "Daydreaming".
* CoolOldGuy: While he can be pretty curmudgeonly, he can also dispense his wisdom to students when they need it.
* CoolShades: He keeps a spare set of sunglasses in his pocket.
* CoolTeacher: Can be this at times as he really does care about his students, even willing to help tutor Ned so he doesn't have to go to summer school.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Even some of his worst moments are at least somewhat justifiable:
** His frustration with Ned doesn’t stem from actual malice, but him knowing Ned is a smart student, but is just lazy when it comes to schoolwork.
** While it may seem harsh with him not liking students daydreaming in class, it is because they’re not paying attention to the lesson.
** As mentioned above in BatmanGambit, when Ned asks why Sweeney tricked him into stealing the golden notebook instead of just loaning it to him, Sweeney points out that, if he had done that, Ned would've just seen it as another boring assignment and ignored it. Ned just quietly nods, admitting that Sweeney has a point.
** He's right to be upset when Ned and Cookie change the school website's password without telling him. He also is rightfully irritated that Mr. Kwest put students in charge of the website (Yes one of them is a tech whiz, that's not the point) when he could have hired an expert using the money in his budget, which he instead spent on exercise equipment.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be mean, cranky and harsh but overall is a nice, caring teacher who just wants his students to succeed.
* MadScientist: Ned sees him as a cackling mad scientist who messes around with chemicals, though he's usually just a normal science teacher.
* NonGivingUpSchoolGuy: While he may be a Jerkass, but he really wants to do his job, be a teacher... that's it.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Though he is usually the serious one of the faculty, he has his moments when he joins in on the silliness of tbe others.
* PetTheDog:
** He tutors Ned in science so that Ned can pass his final exam and avoid summer school. There's also the example from the BatmanGambit above; he successfully tricks Ned into actually studying for and acing his exam, and then offers him caramel cover apples to celebrate.
** In the finale, he catches Ned on the field trip and doesn't rat him out, and calls him one of his favorite students.
* SadistTeacher: Appears to be sadistic, and actually is sometimes (in the episode "Class Clown" especially, when he delights in his students being miserable after the class clown moves away) but all in all, is a good (if somewhat [[SternTeacher stern]]) teacher.
* TricksterMentor: He believes that some students need to be tricked to learn their lessons, like his BatmanGambit mentioned above.

[[folder: Mr./Dr. Alistair Wright]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MeshachTaylor

The history teacher and later principal after Principal Pal retires.

* BenevolentBoss: School-environment counterpart as the principal in Season 3. The students rally for him to become principal ''because'' he's so nice to them.
* CoolTeacher: A very good teacher and close to his students. Ned, Moze, and Cookie often go to him for advice. They even help him get the job as principal after Principal Pal retires.
* ExtremeDoormat: After initially becoming principal, he's too dependent on Principal Pal. Principal Pal helps him become more solid and stern as a result.
* KarmicJackpot: He wasn't even considering the job as a school principal until Ned, Moze, Cookie, and unintentionally Crubbs encouraged him to. His outstanding credentials, excellent rapoire with his students, and top notch personality secures him the job.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's a friendly and reasonable teacher, in direct contrast to Sweeney, who swings back and forth between SadistTeacher and SternTeacher.

[[folder: Mr. Dusty Chopsaw]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/DaveFlorek

The woodshop teacher and Moze's mentor.

* CoolOldGuy: The most popular teacher in school by a significant degree, despite his...eccentricities. His job is easily the most dangerous in the school, and he does it without batting an eyelash. Even something like getting his entire arm caught in a lathe doesn't do much more than annoy him.
* HiddenDepths: He was elected ''student body president'' back in high school, despite not being that popular (least in his youth). His main act was using car wash money to buy a handsome piece of woodshop equipment. He also recognizes the importance of style over fashion.
* ThemeNaming: He's the woodshop teacher and named after a tool.

[[folder: iTeacher]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MoCollins

A teacher who uses a computer to teach English Lit from home.

* MirrorCharacter: During the focus on relations between teachers and students, she turns out to have been like Moze (albeit more of a go-getter) when she was younger. She uses this to help teach Moze to help find balance in her life.
* NoodleIncident: She is terrified of people and no one knows why. She does imply that part of her isolation was a result of overloading her schedule and losing herself to stress. Whatever happened to her was so traumatic that she no longer leaves home. The most she does is communicate with people through a webcam. She is a bit ashamed that her choices and her neurotic behavior led her to this.
* NoNameGiven: Never referred to as anything other than iTeacher.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Becomes this when she realizes she overdid it in her effort to not be afraid of her students
* SadistTeacher: At first, but it turns out it was a sort of HiddenHeartOfGold-hiding facade so she wouldn't be scared of her students from that year on. Ironically, it had the opposite effect until she loosened up.

[[folder: Mr. Monroe]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JimJBullock

The flamboyant Life Science and Health teacher, as well as editor of the school newspaper.

* AmbiguouslyGay: He's hyper-flamboyant and somewhat girly, but this is a kid's show, so his sexuality is never elaborated on. Not helped by the fact that his actor is openly gay in real life.
* {{Catchphrase}}: ''"Won't that be fun?"''
* CoolTeacher: Tries to be this, and occasionally succeeds.
* DemotedToExtra: After Season 1, where he was a regular who seemed to fill the ReasonableAuthorityFigure role. He was apparently PutOnABus halfway in Season 2 (although it surprisingly [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome wasn't mentioned at all]]), but this was lampshaded upon his [[TheBusCameBack brief return]] for a couple episodes of Season 3.
* HiddenDepths: In addition to being the Life Science teacher, he is also ''very'' good at basketball.
* NiceGuy: The nicest of all of the teachers. But he's far from a pushover.
* ReformedBully: Admits that he used to be a BigJerkOnCampus in his younger years in "Guide to: Bullies". As you can see, [[HeelFaceTurn it didn't stick]].
-->'''Mr. Monroe''': I ruled the hallways with my biting wit and vicious sarcasm!

[[folder: Lunch Lady Rose]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LoniLove

The school lunch lady who can see the future in beans.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "It's in the BEANS."
* CassandraTruth: Every prediction she makes comes true, no matter how ridiculous. She said Cookie would get creamed, crushed, mashed, and black-eyed. At the end of the episode, he does indeed get that... but as in creamed ''corn'', crushed ''pepper'', mashed ''potatoes'', and black-eyed ''peas''.
* CoolOldLady: She's a cool lunch lady with prophetic abilities with lunch food.
* FortuneTeller: Using her lunch items as a medium to see the future. Or at least, she claims that she can. Once, even she admits that Ned can only pass his test if he puts in the effort.
* SassyBlackWoman: She certainly has her wit.

[[folder: Principal Irving Pal]]
-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JohnBliss

The school's principal, who later becomes the school history teacher after he retires from being the principal.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's actually a capable and beloved principal; he just retired from old age. He continues this tradition when he becomes the new history teacher, even dressing up as a ''knight'' for a medieval class.
* CoolOldGuy: All of the students and teachers love him.
* CloudCuckooLander: He seems to be going senile. However, some episodes imply that it's ObfuscatingStupidity.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Dumbledore]].
* FakingTheDead: He does this in the HalloweenEpisode after entering a haunted hallway attraction. He intended it to be a short gag, but he kept it up because it was just too funny watching Ned and the others struggle to keep people from finding out what happened.
* TheGhost: He doesn't appear in person until Season 3.
* MeaningfulName: Principal '''Pal''' is friendly and beloved. It's also a reference to "The principal is your pal," a mnemonic to remember the difference between "principal" (the person) and "principle" (the belief).
* ObfuscatingInsanity: He often acts like he's out of his gourd, only to immediately prove quite capable as a principal and teacher.
* RunningGag: He frequently mistakes Moze for a boy for some reason.
** Also, knocking himself out by walking into a wall, then being given a pillow and teddy bear by someone (usually Crubbs).
* SecretTestOfCharacter: Acted as if he didn't know he was supposed to retire from being the principal so that Mr. Wright could learn to work up the courage to directly break out bad news to faculty members.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Apparently. When attacked by food during a food fight, he thinks he's in a war zone and acts accordingly.
* TenMinuteRetirement: Is formally retired from his position for an episode before becoming the history teacher.

[[folder: Mr. Gross]]
-->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/SteveBannos

A very disgusting teacher who hosted the spelling bee.

* CoolTeacher: Despite how gross of a teacher he is, Mr. Gross is actually kind.
* MeaningfulName: He is very gross, so gross, that Gordy has to mop him up, and squirt mouthwash inside his mouth. He also has really bad breath.
* RunningGag: His repulsive habits throughout "Spelling Bee."

[[folder: Coach Joy Dirga]]

The gym teacher, also in charge of a few of the sports at Polk Middle School.

* CoolTeacher: Despite her gruff exterior, she takes time out of her day to help Ned win a weight lifting contest.
* DrillSergeantNasty: A lot of her lazier students bring out this behavior in her, but she has a nurturing side.
* HeightAngst: Subverted. She's perfectly fine with her height. When she sees Moze and another girl argue about the former being tall, she tells them not to worry about their height.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: As seen in "Guide to: Late Bus", Dirga enjoys knitting while watching soap operas after school hours.

[[folder:Mrs. Splitz]]
The guidance counselor, who often puts on wacky personas.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: She explains at the end that her seemingly bizarre moodswings are simply part of how she does her job, noting that each student requires a different approach to counseling.
* GentleTouchVsFirmHand: She embodies both sides to an humorously bipolar degree, able to switch between a rip-roaring DrillSergeantNasty to a pleasant, friendly lady (albeit prone to SuddenlyShouting) at the drop of a hat. As she explains, this is because she knows to take a unique approach with each student, such as the DitzyGenius Cookie or the BrilliantButLazy Ned.
* MeaningfulName: She changes personas so much that she almost seems to have a ''split'' personality.

[[folder:Mr. Lowe]]
The other guidance counselor, who's kind of a sad sack.

-->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/FredStoller

* FriendlessBackground: Kind of. Admits to Ned in one episode he should come by three times a day, largely because he has nobody else to talk to.
* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: First appeared as a study hall advisor, then became a guidance counselor. That's not even counting [[YouLookFamiliar his actor previously appearing as a school photographer, then as a late bus driver]].

[[folder: Mrs. Knapp]]

The former history teacher. Retires later and is replaced by Principal Pal.
----
* MeaningfulName: She sleeps. A lot.
* LazyBum: Not only is she always sleeping, but when told to retire her first instinct is to shout "Thank Heavens! I'm outta here!" and bolt through the door.
* SeniorSleepCycle: She sleeps through the entire day. It's not clear if it's because of her advanced age or just because she's lazy.

[[folder: The Weasel]]

The pest at the school that Gordy is constantly trying to capture.

* BabiesEverAfter: It turns out the weasel was a girl and even had babies at the end of the season finale, which is the only thing that makes Gordy stop chasing her.
* InformedSpecies: Is very visibly a ferret, not a weasel.
* RoadrunnerVsCoyote: With Gordy. Taken to the extreme in "Guide to: Math", where Gordy uses techniques straight out of a Looney Tunes short (boulder slingshot, rocket skates) and even uses a sign for dialogue like Wile E. Coyote would.
* UnderdogsNeverLose: Surprisingly, she has won both the election for school president and won a mountain bike after donating the most recyclables. Although, the former happened because (A) the weasel was nominated as a joke and (B) Coconut Head accidentally voted for the weasel when he was threatened by the Huge Crew to vote for a very reluctant Ned; and the latter was Gordy and Ned's fault for trashing her nest in the school's ventilation system.

* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Of all of the authority figures in Polk, he is far more uptight and by-the-book. Probably a leftover from his time as a cop.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: In "Guide to: Elections", Ned says [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "D'oh!"]] after Suzie Crabgrass offers him a free candy bar which says "Ned is a TOTAL LOSER / VOTE SUZIE!" on the wrapper and he, due to being gullible, accepts.[[note]](The "/" indicates the first line being on top of the second.)[[/note]]

* AlmightyJanitor: He's far more well-connected than you'd expect of a simple janitor. He sometimes implies that he used to have a high-level position in the government.

* ChickMagnet: Popular and pretty girls like [[spoiler: [[OfficialCouple Moze]]]], [[RomanticFalseLead Suzie]] and [[ClingyJealousGirl Missy]] were all interested in him at different times. And there's the "Huge Crew", a group of {{Abhorrent Admirer}}s who stalk Ned. He also quickly won the interest of a new girl just by being nice to her.

* CoolHat: Has a ''siren hat''.

* BespectacledGlasses: For the first two seasons, she wears large glasses and is pretty cute. In the third season, she's traded her glasses for contacts.

* WomenPreferStrongMen: He unintentionally won Suzie over by being his normal bully self.

* HollywoodNerd: A short, awkward, strangely dressed, ShrinkingViolet, who inexplicably becomes hot when she gets contacts, finally deals with her sinus infection, and gets a new wardrobe.

* ThinkTwins: They're among the smartest kids in school, even being part of Ned's math study group for a while.

* {{Meganekko}}: For the first two seasons, she wears large glasses and is pretty cute. In the third season, she's traded her glasses for contacts.

-->'''Ned:''' Because reason doesn't work on crazy people!

* ChickMagnet: Popular and pretty girls like [[spoiler: [[OfficialCouple Moze]]]], [[RomanticFalseLead Suzie]] and [[ClingyJealousGirl Missy]] were all interested in him at different times. And there's the "Huge Crew", a group of {{Abhorrent Admirer}}s who stalk Ned.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Cookie in the first two seasons.

* OddCouple: With Seth when they get together, being he's a jock and she's one of the nerds.

* {{Tsundere}}: A Type A to Cookie, on a good day. She mellows out considerably after getting together with Seth.
* {{Yandere}}: On a bad day. She's clingy and not entirely there. She seems to stabilize out after hooking up with Seth.

** As mentioned above in BatmanGambit, when Ned asks why Sweeney tricked him into stealing the golden notebook instead of just loaning it to him, Sweeney points out that, if he had done that, Ned would've just seen it as another boring assignment and ignored it. Ned just quietly nods, admitting that Sweeney has a point
