Contents
History
Ms. Pommelhorst takes a tough-as-nails approach to teaching and to life in general. When a teachers' strike took place at Springfield Elementary, she left her class the moment the strike was called -- even leaving a little girl clinging to gymnastics rings and calling for help[1].
She is also a big fan of Xena: Warrior Princess, to the point that she takes oaths by Xena. One such oath nearly led her to fail Lisa in gym class. However, in a rare break from her tough-as-nails demeanor, Ms. Pommelhorst relented and allowed Lisa to make up her grade by taking private lessons in order to pass gym[2].
Ms. Pommelhorst announced to her students that she was taking a leave of absence to undergo gender reassignment surgery. According to Principal Skinner, she would be returning to the school as shop teacher Mr. Pommelhorst[3]. Since making her announcement, she hasn't been seen as either Ms. Pommelhorst or Mr. Pommelhorst.
Trivia
- Ms. Pommelhorst's last name is very likely derived from the gymnastics apparatus the pommel horse.
