She'sMorris has been at Lawndale High for over a decade, and taught [[Penny Lane]] and [[Summer Lane]] before her. She has contempt for both girls and the Lane's in general, and deliberately targeted Penny when she was teaching her: "I taught her a thing or two about the American competitive spirit." which prompted Jane to reply "You sure did. That's why she's spent the last ten years out of the country."

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 two older sisters and viewed the whole family as shiftless slackers,. inspiringThis motivated Jane to join the track team and prove her wrong. When the girlJane 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 in "[[Lucky Strike]]", and go on to watch [[Charles Ruttheimer III]] seemingly dying at his magic act with amusement in "[[Life in the Past Lane]]".
