Biography
Little is known about Principal McVicker, and his legacy, within Highland High. All we know is that he is old, was born sometime in the 20th century, takes medication due to his shakes and seizures, and talks like he feels sick.
Personality
Principal McVicker has an unstable personality. He tends to have minor seizures during school hours from time to time and gets angry from whatever goes wrong with people like Beavis and Butt-head and even peace loving teacher David Van Driessen. His beliefs towards Beavis and Butt-head consists with his thought of how they are complete idiots and do not even belong in the 9th grade. He doesn't support people like Beavis and Butt-head and it seems that he doesn't support any of his students within Highland High. As a shaky person, he is seen to be taking medication in the show to calm his nerves, but for the most part he is angry just about everyday depending on what is going on at the school. His age as seen seems to be somewhere between 50 and 70 years old, but there is no clear cut as to what it exactly is. There is not enough sufficient information to tell anymore about him at this point in time but he has appeared in several episodes of the show and in the movie.
However, he still has a small modicum of hope left for the duo, or at least Beavis. In the episode The Great Cornholio when Beavis mumbles an apology McVicker was so pleasantly surprised that he let Beavis go, without any punishment. This likely went away after Beavis reverted to his Cornholio persona in the end of the episode.
