Mr. Lancer is one of the teachers and the vice-principal and English teacher of Casper High. He is a strict teacher who often favors the popular kids. Though he tends to pick on Danny because of his average grades and his lackluster interest in his job, Lancer is a well-meaning man who tries to make sure all his students do their best. He has a humorous habit of shouting out book titles when he is surprised. He also constantly tries to be "cool" by saying some rather tired "hip phrases".
