Miss Geraldine Grundy is a fictional character of the Archie Comics series. She has been voiced by Jane Webb and Linda Sorenson.
In the comics, she is the no nonsense homeroom teacher at Riverdale High School, occasionally teaching English and math as well. In Jackpot Comics #4, she is referred to [erroneously] as "Mrs. Grundy, the principal". Her name is derived from Mrs Grundy, a name that has been used to refer to a prudish woman since the early 19th century.
Before she became a teacher, she worked at a pickle-packing plant. During World War II, she served with the WACs, outranking Mr. Weatherbee. Despite occasional grumblings from her students, they seem to genuinely like and admire her. She, in return, tends to drive them hard, pushing Archie Andrews and Moose Mason in particular, but remains quite fond of her students.
Her first name is most often given as Geraldine. However, at least once, another staff member called her Amanda. She was also called Alice in at least one mainstream story. In Archie's Double Digest #41, she is revealed to be an alumna of Riverdale High School and had run for class president, in a joke about the need to clean off the bulletin board. Her forename was given as Elizabeth in The Archie and Sabrina Hour but as Doris in the animated series Archie's Weird Mysteries. In one story about Jughead's correct first name, her name was revealed to be Grisensnable. In an earlier Archie book that listed the names of the characters, her name was Gertrude.
In Life with Archie: The Married Life, Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee realized how much they loved each other, and got married. However, in this alternative future, she died from kidney disease not long afterward, leaving Mr. Weatherbee a broken-hearted widower.
