Which South Park Elementary staff member is the school counselor?

The story behind the answer

Which South Park Elementary staff member is the school counselor? Mr. Mackey is the school counselor.

Mr. Mackey Jr. works at South Park Elementary and is known for ending many sentences with “m’kay.” He occasionally teaches classes, but counseling is his primary role at the school.

The character debuted in the first-season episode “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo.” He is voiced by series co-creator Trey Parker and was based partly on Parker’s own junior-high counselor, Stan Lackey.

A common mix-up is Principal Victoria or PC Principal, who serve as school administrators rather than counselors. Mr. Mackey’s distinctive oversized head is explained as resulting from his tightly worn tie.
