He oversees everything happening in the school, whether it be school events, bad behavior from pupils, school renovations, etc. Besides being the principal, he is very active in the community of [[Elwood City]], and often takes part in managing or competing in public events, especially if they are sponsored by the school. He leaves Elwood City in [[Season 20]] to fulfill his dream of building a school in Tanzania in Africa, being temporarily replaced by [[Ms. Tingley]].<ref>[[The Hallway Minotaur]]</ref> | ||
In the first few seasons of the show, there was a running gag with Mr. Haney. He'd randomly appear with a toy or a balloon, or he'd have bad luck for no apparent reason. He would get hit by things such as burgers on the face or get knocked off of his bed by the Tooth Fairy | In the first few seasons of the show, there was a running gag with Mr. Haney. He'd randomly appear with a toy or a balloon, or he'd have bad luck for no apparent reason. He would get hit by things such as burgers on the face or get knocked off of his bed by the Tooth Fairy. Most of this was due to simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Everybody would respond by saying, "Sorry, Sir". His luck has improved in later seasons, though. He also has a [[Mr. Haney's niece|niece]] and [[Mr. Haney's nephew|nephew]] who appear in "[[The Return of the King]]" who are tutored by [[Nigel Ratburn|Mr. Ratburn]]'s former 3rd Grade teacher, [[Mr. Pryce-Jones]]. He is also a tax customer of one of his pupil's, [[Arthur Read]]'s, [[Jane Read|mother]], as revealed in "[[Arthur's Mystery Envelope (episode)|Arthur's Mystery Envelope]]" when he gives Arthur an envelope filled with tax documents. Arthur at first thinks that it contains information regarding him, but later finds out it does not. | ||
