Henry Vogler

Henry Vogler is the principal of Odyssey Middle School. His office is where the school's troubles eventually land, from prank campaigns against a new teacher to rumors that race through the hallways. He deals with student petitions, contested accusations, and even a rash of mysteriously opened lockers. Vogler enforces the school's rules firmly, including a zero-tolerance policy on threats and bullying, and he expects students to tell him the truth. Much of his time is spent with pupils such as Olivia Parker, Emily Jones, and Matthew Parker, whether he is disciplining them, hearing their confessions, or closing their cases. Students who come clean with him, as Olivia once did after letting a rumor spread unchecked, generally find him fair.
