List Of Staff At South Park Elementary

This page is a list of staff at South Park Elementary from the characters in the American animated television series ''South Park''.

Mr. Adler

Mr. Richard Adler (voiced by Matt Stone) is the puffy cheeked, shop-class teacher at South Park Elementary. During " Tweek vs. Craig", he is plagued by memories of his fiancée's death and chews copious amounts of nicotine gum to deal with them. When he runs out of gum, he plans to commit suicide. After writing his suicide note, he lies on a large table saw with a moving feed, but is interrupted by a fight between Tweek and Craig entering his classroom, killing Kenny in the process. Afterwards, he communicates with his fiancée's spirit through Kenny's corpse, and she helps him move on from his mourning. Now it seems he has relaxed a bit and put his past behind him, and has not featured prominently in an episode since "Tweek vs. Craig", although he has appeared in the background of many scenes and was one of the teachers supporting the move to teach sex education to the younger students in "Proper Condom Use", and also spoke his views on 9/11 in " Mystery of the Urinal Deuce". He was featured in the episode, "Bass to Mouth", and has a few lines. He also commented on the country's inevitable doom in "About Last Night". His teaching method consists primarily of telling the children to "quit screwing around", and "don't screw around, you screw around too much!" The episode " Mysterion Rises" reveals Adler to be a member of the Cult of Cthulhu. Adler always has a visible bandage covering a scar on his forehead after his suicide attempt. Mr. Adler's character was based on an old shop teacher who taught co-creator Matt Stone. His name was referenced in DVD commentary, but was censored because the real teacher did not give South Park permission to reveal his name.

Chef

Jerome "Chef" McElroy (voiced by Isaac Hayes) was one of few African American characters in ''South Park'', and the chef at the South Park Elementary School. In the initial season, his gimmick line, as the four boys come into the cafeteria was, "Hello there, children!" They would respond with, "Hey, Chef." This was usually followed by Chef asking "How's it going?" and the boys would reply "Bad." Chef is obsessed with sex (especially with white women). In "Chef Aid", it is revealed that he committed bestiality with a goat. He is a talented singer, and has a tendency to sing inappropriate songs when his muse strikes him. The children often seek him out when in need of guidance or information. Sometimes the advice given by Chef is inappropriate, such as in '' South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut'', Stan asks Chef how he can get Wendy to like him and he replies, "That's easy. You just gotta find the clitoris." He refers to the boys as 'children' even if there is only one of them present. He once almost married a succubus, but the boys saved him. He has not been seen since " Return of Chef" because of the departure and death of Hayes. In this episode, he is "killed", but is then seen being remade with a body similar to that of Darth Vader.

Ms. Choksondik

Ms. Diane Choksondik (voiced by Trey Parker) becomes the boys' new teacher after they enter fourth grade. Ms. Choksondik has extremely exaggerated saggy breasts, is overweight, wears glasses, and has a lazy eye. She also does not wear a bra, and when she lifts her arms, the bottom few inches of her breasts show below the bottom of her blouse. One of the early jokes about Ms. Choksondik is that the children do not get the obvious pun in her name, and try to create other names for her (such as "makesmesick", "chokesonbricks" and "chokesonrocks"). She corrects them in full seriousness. In the episode "Proper Condom Use", it is strongly implied that her contemptuous attitude towards sexual activity stems from the fact that no man before Mr. Mackey had any sexual interest in her.

The episode " Professor Chaos" ends on a cliffhanger saying someone would die, in a parody of cliffhanger endings, and it was revealed during this gag that Ms. Choksondik has died. In the episode "Simpsons Already Did It", the boys reveal they put some of their Sea People in her coffee. When she dies soon after, they became horrified when they thought that their prank had killed her. Later, the news says that large amounts of semen (or, as the boys took it, "sea men") had been found in her stomach, and they go to great lengths to hide their apparent role in her death, until Chef explains that Ms. Choksondik must have died from something else. After her death, the boys receive two weeks off school to "deal with" her death, and then are taught for a short time by Mr. Mackey before Mr. Garrison is allowed a return to teach them.

Ms. Claridge

Ms. Claridge (voiced by Mona Marshall) was a South Park Elementary preschool teacher. Her first appearance was in "Pre-School". Ms. Claridge was disabled and covered in burns after a fire broke out in the pre-school classroom at South Park Elementary. The fire was started when Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny wanted to play "fireman" and asked the "baddest kid in pre-school", Trent Boyett, to start a fire for them. In spite of the boys' efforts to extinguish the fire (by urinating on it), the fire grew out of control and nearly killed Ms. Claridge. Ms. Claridge survived, but was badly injured and placed in an electric wheelchair which very much resembles that of Captain Christopher Pike in the original ''Star Trek'' episode " The Menagerie".

Ms. Claridge communicates by 'beeping' once for yes and twice for no. It is not clear how she can function as a teacher if she can only communicate "yes" and "no", yet her students appear to understand her.

The boys denied all culpability for the fire and Trent Boyett was sent to Juvenile Hall for five years. While trying to escape the newly released Trent, Cartman fires a taser gun, which accidentally powers Ms. Claridge's wheelchair, sending her crashing into a propane shop, exploding and setting her alight once again and crashes into a pet shop. The police arrive and ask if Trent started the fire. She replies "no" with two beeps but the police mistake it for "yes yes" and arrest Trent.

Ms. Claridge appears briefly in two other episodes, "The Death of Eric Cartman", where Cartman, in his efforts to atone for his life's misdeeds, gives her a fruit basket, and also again at the talent show in "Erection Day".

Mr. Connors

Mr. Connors (voiced by Trey Parker) was the wrestling teacher at the school. He appeared in " W.T.F.", where he is fired due to some of the wrestling videos on his iPhone being mistaken for gay pornography, and eventually joined the WWE.

Ms. Crabtree

Ms. Veronica Lee Crabtree, known in the series as Mrs. Crabtree, (voiced by Mary Kay Bergman in seasons 1–3 and Eliza Schneider in seasons 4–8, when she was officially "killed off" in " Cartman's Incredible Gift"). She was the bus driver with a bird nesting on her head for South Park elementary, and enforced incredibly strict discipline on the bus, constantly yelling at the students to enforce quiet. She does the same to adult staff travelling on the bus, and doesn't seem to understand that she can't report the staff for disorderly conduct like she would with the students. The students often mutter various insults to her, then quickly cover them up with poor excuses when she demanded they repeat themselves. However, Stan Marsh once repeated the insult back word for word. As a result, Ms. Crabtree said "oh" and drove off without letting the boys on the bus.

In one episode, a kid from the drug rehabilitation center (across from Cartman's fat camp) is forced to climb into Ms. Crabtree's body vaginally while pretending to be Kenny (who was arrested for prostitution), but was rebirthed stillborn. Moments later, she squeezed out another kid, who resembled Harry Potter.

In the episode "Chef Aid", Chef resorts to prostitution to get needed money, and Ms. Crabtree, over whose head he puts a bag first, is one of his "customers".

The character's biggest role was in the season 2 episode " City on the Edge of Forever", where she has the main role in the episode's b-plot. After the bus becomes stranded at the edge of a cliff, Ms Crabtree leaves the children behind to try to find assistance, but ends up getting sidetracked by a stand up comedian agent who draws her into a career in stand-up. She eventually starts a romantic relationship with a truck driver she met while hitchhiking, and the two spend the last few minutes of the show watching the sunset together.

Ms. Crabtree – as well as the bird nesting on her head – was murdered by a serial killer in the 2004 episode "Cartman's Incredible Gift". Detectives investigating the crime in the episodes noted she was "an ancillary
