For the first time a complete list of Tesla's High School professors is provided. The excellency of his lecturers of chemistry and related sciences is put into the limelight. The books and articles about chemistry which Tesla read in his High School times are focused together with the related published works of his teachers. The pioneering spectroscopic research of Kirchhoff and Bunsen began in Tesla's early youth and had a considerable impact on Tesla's professors, especially on Martin Sekulić.
