Brunella Pommelhorst is a Physical Education teacher at Springfield Elementary School. She has blonde hair and is almost always seen wearing a whistle.

Ms. Pommelhorst takes a tough-as-nails approach to teaching and to life in general. When a teachers' strike takes place at Springfield Elementary, she leaves her class the moment the strike is called -- even leaving a little girl clinging to gymnastics rings and calling for help.

She is also a big fan of Xena: Warrior Princess, to the point that she takes oaths by Xena. One such oath nearly leads her to fail Lisa in gym class. However, in a rare break from her tough-as-nails demeanor, Ms. Pommelhorst relents and allows Lisa to make up her grade by taking private lessons so she can pass gym.

Ms. Pommelhorst has announced that she is taking a leave of absence to undergo gender reassignment surgery. According to Principal Skinner, she will be returning to the school as shop teacher Mr. Pommelhorst.

Trivia

Ms. Pommelhorst's last name is very likely derived from the gymnastics apparatus the pommel horse.
