Patricia Poffenbarger- Fueled by Starbucks and starry-eyed optimism, this young teacher won't let any of her students fall between the cracks.
Arleta Chisolm-Holmes- This school principal is poised and confident. The only thing that baffles her is her "New Age" secretary.
Claudia Tennant- She is weepy but insightful. Her burnout indicator is deep into the red zone.
Brenda Snyder- Watch your back! She has elevated gossip and innuendo to an art form.
Melinda Sue Gibson- "A" is for attitude. This student needs to get a new one.
Lilly Sturgeon- Tough. Sensible. Earthy. Good humored. A drill sergeant with a heart of gold.
Diane Noknowski- The local oddball artiste. She gives poetry and beatniks a bad name…daddy-o.
Sara Siddons-Sikes- This dedicated school nurse is ever watchful for lurking microscopic menaces.
Felicia Babcock- Your "mayor of education." She will convince you that you understand every word of her political doublespeak.

Tansey Gibson- The harried and overworked single Mom. Her daughter Melinda is a handful.

Maria Teresa Ruiz De La Hoya- Student- Youthful enthusiasm in a flowered hat.
