Frankie Stein
15 days old, Frankie Stein is new to Monster High. She is the daughter of Dr. Frankeinstein's monster and his bride. Her pet is a puppy named Watzit.

Ghoulia is the daughter of a zombie couple. She is the smartest girl at Monster High, although she only speaks "zombie" -- moans and groans. She has a pet owl named Sir Hoots A Lot.

She is shy and bookish, but quite thoughtful.

Spectra Vondergeist
Spectra is the daughter of the Ghosts. She writes an anonymous gossip blog and an advice column for the Monster High student newspaper, and as such is a bit of a rumor-monger. She can float and pass through walls.

The Headless Headmistress Bloodgood
The Headless Headmistress is head of Monster High, and in charge of discipline. She takes after her name, and is able to remove her head from her body.

She rides a horse and carries a riding crop. It seems likely that her character is inspired by the Headless Horseman from the classic story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". Teacher of Trigular Calcometry 101.

Seen in the webisodes Totally Busted, Freakout Friday, Mad Science Fair, Idol Threat, Falling Spirits, Fatal Error, Frightday the 13th, and Fear Pressure. Referenced in the webisode Substitute Creature.

The Mad Science Teacher, Mr Hackington
The Monster High Science teacher seems to be a classic British torturer/executioner, with his accent, butcher's apron, leather mask and cabinet of weapons. He tries to make the students dissect three-eyed frogs, though Lagoona intervenes and frees them. He also serves lunch.

Education:
 * Skinner College - B.S., Chemistry

"A dull mind cannot cut the cheese of knowledge."

The Invisible Man, Mr. Where
The Invisible Man wears bandages, gloves, and a hat (Shown to use both a beret and a fedora) to make himself visible, and he tops off the ensemble with glasses and a scarf. And he can pop up anywhere. He appears to be based visually off of the Claude Rains portrayal of the character. He also has the ability to extend his invisibility power to cloak his clothing as well.

Unlike the original character, Dr. Griffin from the H.G. Wells novel, He is quite sane and benevolent. He is shown to be very polite and an intellectual. His limited scenes of student interaction imply he is held in high esteem by the students, and he likes them as well.

Seen in the webisodes Clawdition giving auditions for the school production of Hamlet, in the hallway in Bad Scare Day, giving a test in Copy Canine, revealing the Monster High Scream Queen in Rumor Run Wild, and on the Monster High website.

Coach Igor
A classic hunch-backed lab assistant who teaches gym class. He has one peg leg. When he takes over Study Howl, he makes the students run laps. You can never rest with a coach like this!

Seen in the webisode Photo Finish and on the Monster High website.

Mr. Lou Zarr
Louis Zarr serves as a substitute teacher when one of the regular staff are unavailable, as seen in the webisode Substitute Creature, in the television special New Ghoul @ School. He appears to be the only regular human in the show. He is a stiff, humorless, uncompromising hardnose about education. His lessons are shown to be so boring they tend to put students, and even himself, to sleep.

Needless to say, his name is an obvious play on the word "Loser".
