Mr. Galvin is a Science Teacher at P.S. 38. He has worked at the school for over 40 years now. He has a son who once worked as a substitute science teacher for his dad. He is 70 years old, according to Teddy Ortiz. He is a very minor character in Big Nate. He has also said to Nate Wright, that it is almost impossible to clone someone. Nate Wright once challenged Gina Hemphill-Toms if she could make Mr. Galvin laugh and succeeded, she is the only known one that has been able to do so. His son, Mr. Galvin says that he's always laughing and joking around, though. Along with other teachers, Nate has given him nicknames.

Once they played a kids vs teacher basketball game and Mr. Galvin has no reflexes.

One time, Mr. Galvin took Nate's pen because it was "distracting". It then began to bleed on his shirt where Nate got distracted and began to laugh at that. Nate earned a detention for 5 hours for doing that. He probably gets caught up in what he's saying.
