They are obsessed with Harry Helby, shopping, fashion, make up, and their cell phones, seen constantly talking on them to each other even though they are not even an arm's length away. Carla is the leader constantly seen with her cheerleading outfit in almost every episode except "Wanna Bee" in where she is in pink and purple uniform with a beret. Melanie is a stereotypical dumb blonde that has problems with pronunciations. Also it is shown that Melanie really enjoys shiny things and appears to be a horror movie buff. Melanie's favorite color is Blue and Carla's favorite color is Purple. Carla and Melanie just want Creepie to be normal. Carla is afraid of Scorpions.

He refers to the students by their last names. Dr. Pappas is probably insecure due to being practically bald and having a big nose. Dr.Pappas is afraid of Budge. Though strict he has shown he does care for his students. He has also been shown to not be able to keep track of his students on school field trips which, strangely, usually only consist of Harry, Melanie, Carla, Chris-Alice, Budge, and Creepie.

- Ms. Monseratte (voiced by Julie Lemieux): a firm but fair disciplinarian and principal of Middlington Middle School. Like Dr. Pappas she's always spying on Creepie and the other students at Middlington Middle School and is a stickler for rules. She's obsessed with cleanliness. Her catch phrase is "Detention!". She will usually hand out a detention slip. She's also the Middlington School's official guidance counselor. Ms. Monseratte herself is from Spain and she's probably insecure due to being the shortest person at Middlington Middle School, sort of like a Dwarf.

She agrees to learn the so-called "haunted" bagpipes. Raven was impressed and amazed on Creepie's skills with the bagpipes.

However as Creepie tries to follow the playtime schedule, Damien keeps wandering off from her. Creepie's brothers then learn to their horror that Damien likes to torture and kill bugs. They try to tell Creepie about Damien's true nature, but she doesn't believe them (this is because Paulie and Gnat have been playing pranks on her earlier on).

Creepie warns Damien to not mess with fire ants, but he ignores her. He continues to harass until thousands of fire ants crawl up his pants and start biting him.
