Ms. Morris

Mrs. Morris (no known first name) was a physical-education teacher at Lawndale High, as well as the track team coach and (it appears) the cheerleading coach.

Appearances and characterization
Morris appears in the episode "See Jane Run" and has a non speaking appearance in "Lucky Strike".

Morris was openly corrupt, turning phys-ed into covert cheerleading practice and fudging grades for athletes. Prior to the start of the series, she had taught Jane's sisters and viewed the whole family as shiftless slackers, inspiring Jane to join the track team. When the girl turned out to be good, Morris immediately started backing her and doing her favours. When Jane quit, Morris tried to blackmail her into rejoining the team by threatening to deliberately flunk her in Math, though she was forced to back off when Jane threatened to reveal it to the media. (Morris had already stated both Angela Li and the PTA were aware of the threat)

She would later join the school's union strike.

Morris in Fanfiction
Morris has often been portrayed in a negative light in fanfiction, in tune with her antagonistic portrayal in See Jane Run.

 * Morris appeared in Big sister's great adventure by Wouter Jaegers where she's put in a much friendlier light, joking around with Mack about still beating the track team and Cheerleaders into shape, she also appears earlier in the story as Rachel Landon signs up for the Cheerleading squad.
