Mr. Howard Quentin. Better known as Mr. Q, he is the Art teacher with a great sense of humor. Much like Mr. Simmons, he too takes his job seriously and makes his students laugh at the same time. (This character is based on my art teacher. I love that guy!)

Coach Raymond Johnson- The gym teacher for 9th and 11th graders and The coach for the Boys' Football, Swim and Basketball teams. He is a loud person who directly pushes his students and sports team members to work hard in their practice and exercise. He does this only because he wants his students to do their best to succeed. He's also that one typical gym teacher who would say that running laps outside in cold weather warms you up while he wears a jacket.

Coach Victoria George- The second gym teacher. Except she teaches 10th and 12th grade and she's the coach for the girl's Basketball, Swim and Volleyball teams. She does her job in a similar way to Coach Johnson, except she does not make students run laps outside during cold weather.

Nurse Ilene Edward- The school nurse. She is gentle and serene with the students that come to her office.

Ms. Margaret Grey- The dance teacher. She is a simple Run-of-the-mill teacher who is mostly chill and encourages Nora and her besties to dance in the school's Talent Show.
