Marty's history teacher was an unnamed member of the faculty at Hill Valley High School in 1986. He wore glasses. He was teaching a history class on the first Monday in March, 1986 when a delivery man from Western Union arrived with a letter written in 1893 for one of his students, Marty McFly, with instructions that it be delivered to Marty on that day at "the highest attainable level of education prior to university".
