[edit] Background

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Ms. Dent, as she is commonly referred to, was Veronica's journalism teacher through the first half of the show's first season.

Because she was new to Neptune High, she did not know about the tangled history involving Veronica, and so was the only teacher who took Veronica at face value, not based on prejudices. Together with Veronica, she was responsible for uncovering the voting scam that led to Duncan Kane winning the elections illegally.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Her departure

Originally intended to be the maternal role model teacher, budget and artistic concerns led Rob Thomas, the series' creator, to phase the character out by having her become pregnant out of wedlock. After the replacement journalism teacher (portrayed by Joey Lauren Adams) clashed with the Vice Principal over the school paper publishing controversial articles (in "Weapons of Class Destruction"), and the death of her successor (portrayed by Naima Mora in "Normal is the Watchword"), the Neptune Navigator is now apparently without a staff member in charge of it.
