Profile
Mr. Jarvis comes into conflict with Mr. Brown when he makes unwelcome advances on Danielle, who claims that she is engaged to Mr. Brown and he will fight to protect her. Mr. Jarvis challenges him to a boxing match, which takes place after school in the gymnasium. Although Mr. Jarvis quickly gains the upper hand, Giovanni distracts him while Max ties his shoelaces together, causing him to fall over and be counted out at the beginning of the next round. Mr. Jarvis then turns his attention to Jamila, but Ali volunteers Mr. Brown to fight him again.

Mr. Jarvis is mentioned again in "After Three", in which Miss Courtney reminds Mr. Brown that he was fired for his class's poor performance in the last school concert and is still looking for another job.

Mr. Jarvis's first name is used only once, when Sid announces it before the boxing match.
