Former high school Spanish teacher/current director of New Directions

William McKinley High School

Will Schuester is the former Spanish teacher of William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. He is now the director of its newly-reassembled glee club, New Directions, dedicated to reinstating it to its former glory after its previous director was fired for "inappropriate conduct." Will was married to his high school sweetheart, Terri, who didn't approve of him running the glee club and deceived him into thinking that he was going to become a father, putting on the pressure that he should quit being a teacher and get a higher-paying job as an accountant. After learning of the deception, Will filed for divorce from Terri and acted on his growing feelings for the high school's guidance counselor, Emma Pillsbury, who had been secretly in love with him for a long time.
