Nevermore Academy

**Nevermore Academy**, formerly known as **Nevermore High**, is the primary setting of the Midnight Dimension.

## Description

Nevermore Academy is a school in the city of Monstropolis with a monster-only staff and student body, founded sometime in the 12th century. The school's current principal is Headmaster Grimstone.

Unlike real high schools (which it was formerly known as), the students of this school can greatly exceed the typical graduation age of 18, not counting ageless beings such as vampires and liches. Students attend Spooky Academy for at least six years, starting at 15-years old at the latest. However, it is unclear (though unlikely, given the wide age-range) if students of all different ages are separated into different grade-levels for every year.

The school holds a large amount of classes that teach various subjects, both typical and monster-specific. Students who have poor enough grades are given options between extracurricular classes or taking remedial classes in summer school. It also hosts a number of clubs for various topics that students may join at their leisure.

The school hosts many sports teams, including basketball, water polo, and football. Its football team are "Nevermore Mon-Stars". Nevermore Academy's school colors are purple, black, green.

### Layout

* The campus area was coffin-shaped, and housed the main building, the outdoor sport fields, and overlapped with a forest and a swamp. The building contained two floors, with most of the classrooms located on the second floor so to make room for the indoor sport fields on the first floor. The entrance hall reached up into a belfry, where some students went if they needed time alone, and where a number of bats lived.

* Below the school were the catacombs, most of which was unused and unfamiliar terrain. Monster High had claimed the portion of the catacombs that ran directly under the campus, and used it to house facilities the school has no place for on its own terrain. There was an underground train station and a small passage that allowed zombies easy travel between their part of town and Monster High. Otherwise, three rooms were claimed by two students. Operetta has a soundproof recording studio in the catacombs, as well as her very own opera house. Meanwhile, C.A. Cupid had set up a radio station in the catacombs, from which she hosts her own show. Monster High's radio station can be found on frequency WZMH 13.13 FM. Frankie Stein's father had also set up a lab down there at one point during his high school years.

* Unclaimed nearby portions of the catacombs were used for Creature Spotting, an activity promoted and hosted by Mr. Hackington.

## Staff

* **Agnes-Hotep**: The librarian of Spooky Academy.
* **Nurse Chupacabra**: Spooky Academy's nurse. They are mentioned in an event where the Wolfpack are pestering Liam in the gym, if the player chooses to have Liam turn into a bat and bite them.
* **Coach**: *See page for more details.*
* **Crazy Martin the Were-Bear Janitor**: The school janitor. He frequently gets students in trouble, and is usually responsible for cleaning up the messes that the player character and NPCs make. Students (such as Polly and Damien, or Damien and Scott) often try and run or hide from him to avoid the consequences.
* **Miss Demonslayer**: A teacher that Damien has, who in a certain event gives him a writing assignment where he writes two pages on a destructive tool that is better than fire. He consults the player on what to do, and if the player chooses "More fire", Damien will burn Miss Demonslayer's gradebook to ash.
* **Ms. Feratu:** A science teacher that Miranda and Scott share. She's mentioned offhand in the gift seahorse event.
* **Principal Giant Spider**: *Main article: Minor Characters/Monster Prom#Principal Giant Spider*
* **Mr. Giant Stone Head**: The AP Jump Scares teacher.
* **Professor Lensbottom**: The Photography class teacher. (possibly)
* **Ms. Lestrade**: A vampire teacher, who Polly and Scott decide to play a prank on. They try to open the blinds so she turns to dust, but they can't physically open them. It is up to the player to decide how they should prank her.
* **Mephistophelinda**: The head lunch lady, mentioned in the event where you take items from the Slayer and put them in the school lunch. She dies upon sampling it.
* **Ms. Panthera:** A teacher that can turn into a panther. When in panther form, she mauls students and eats her coworkers. What exactly triggers the transformation is unknown, but in an event on Scott's route, the player has the option to suggest bringing in animal carcasses to the classroom, and she transforms when seeing them if the event is failed.
* **Mr. Slenderman**: A teacher at Spooky High who gave Miranda a failing grade on a test. She became angry, and conspired with the player character to get him replaced. If the player passes the stat check, they can get him fired by either bringing up countless pictures of him being creepy around children, or framing him as a member of the KKK. Either way, he is replaced by a **robot teacher** who gives the students free ice cream and back rubs.
