WizTech is the wizarding school that Justin, Alex, and later on Max, occasionally attended. Justin applied for WizTech and got accepted to go there for summer school.
History[]
When Alex got in trouble for using magic, Justin accidentally gave Jerry and Theresa the idea to send Alex too. Students at the school have to wear cloaks and glasses, reminiscent of the Harry Potter universe. Justin was later promoted to headmaster of WizTech after the wizard competition because Professor Crumbs was retiring, but at some point he was fired due to a unicorn incident, which caused him to leave the WizardIng World and Magic behind for good and at some point he met Giada Russo and married her and had two children with her, Roman and Milo Russo.
Students[]

- Justin Russo (former)
- Max Russo (former)

- Jerko Phoenix - A champion 12-Ball player, therefore also Justin's rival. He wears an eyepatch only to keep him from wearing the Harry Potter-style glasses. His name is a parody of Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter's rival at Hogwarts.
