Principal Steinbeck

"I'm calling your father!"

- Steinbeck to Bowser Junior

 is the cruel, psychotic and evil principal at Bowser Junior's School and the main antagonist of Bowser Junior's Summer School and the Bowser Junior's 1st Grade Series. He has an evil and mean spirited personality, and loves it when his students get in trouble so he can punish them. An example of this is when he roars at Shrek to get out of his classroom when Shrek asks if he is at culinary cheesecake class. He hates all the SML Characters, especially Bowser Junior as seen in Bowser Junior's Summer School, which is shown throughout the Summer School series. Junior hit him once because the fly was near him, and he was so angry that he almost expelled Junior. Junior was defended by Jackie Chu stating that the fly was a task in order to pass the class. He said that Junior got lucky this time, and said that they would meet again.

He later returns as a minor antagonist in the Bowser Junior's First Grade series. He replaces Junior's old, original teacher with David Winkle, who later turns out to be a pedophile. He eventually gets Jackie Chu to return as a teacher. When Mr. Winkle returns impersonating Jackie Chu, and Bowser Junior accidentally burns down the school, Steinbeck cuts a deal with the parents; in order to prevent a lawsuit, Steinbeck promises to pass everyone as long as he does not sue. He then tells Bowser Junior 2nd Grade won't be as easy, and leaves.

He returns once more in First Day Of School!, when Junior enters Grade 2. His diabolical nature is unchanged, as he tells the students that he hates them and hopes that they will fail and die. He also says that if one of them fails, he will murder all of them.
