Mr. Lancer is a teacher and vice-principal at Casper High School.

History

During his own years at high school, he was a male cheerleader. Now he is a teacher and vice-principal at Danny's school, Casper High. He teaches various subjects, such as English, math, history, and science. He is also a detention supervisor.

Appearance

He is an overweight, bald, middle-aged man with green eyes and a goatee and most often seen wearing a light blue short-sleeved dress shirt with a black tie, gray slacks, and black shoes.

Personality

Mr. Lancer is first portrayed as a disciplinary enforcer within Casper High, but shows favoritism towards the athletes and Jazz while liberally doling out detentions to Danny and his friends.

Later on, he is depicted as a devoted educator who takes his job seriously and cares for his students.

However, he eventually becomes more fair and forgiving. Although he is described as an English teacher, Mr. Lancer has appeared teaching a variety of subjects, including astronomy, and the blackboard behind him is often covered in various math equations.

He is portrayed as a bit of a wimp, although he occasionally has moments of bravery, especially when it comes to his students' safety. He often uses the titles of books as exclamations ("Moby-Dick!", "Gulliver's Travels!", "Lord of the Flies!", "War of the Worlds!", etc.)
