Miss Hennepin is the vice principal at Trace Middle School. A stern woman, Miss Hennepin is nevertheless difficult for Roy to take seriously, due to a long hair growing on her upper lip that changes color nearly every time Roy sees her. Mr. Eberhardt and Mrs. Eberhardt, meanwhile, take issue with Miss Hennepin for what they see as her cowardice: she refuses to punish Dana for choking Roy, despite having proof Dana did so, for fear that Dana’s parents would sue the school. At the end of the novel, Roy is amused to hear that Miss Hennepin told reporters she encouraged kids to protest in support of the burrowing owls—from Roy’s experiences with her, Miss Hennepin would never do such a thing.
