Rowlands

The most legendary of them all, the Thanos-Slayer.
== Origins ==
Rowlands started his legacy as being Meme Lord and Alex's homeroom teacher Freshman year, in 2017-2018. This was also, in fact, the very last year Abington did separate homerooms for highschool. Meme Lord enjoyed Rowland's company, though he only was in homeroom for 10-15 minutes a day. Rowlands was chill enough to allow Sly Frog Fry to hangout with Meme Lord in his homeroom, but unfortunately that would also mean Tritch would follow us in. 
After this, Rowland's room became the sort of designated hangout room before and after the school day, as memebers didn't really know other good teachers and Rowlands didn't mind having them. Thus, for sophomore year, Meme Lord was happy to see he had Rowlands for an actual class, Biology, during 8th mod. Thus a tradition was started of Meme Lord drawing Vector on Rowland's chalkboard.
It was during this Biology class that Rowlands grew to be one of the most legendary teachers, for his teaching style, his tolerance of Vector/other memes, and how he dealt with idiots misbehaving in class. Rowlands, unlike nearly every other teacher, dealt with students who were causing trouble by simply stating "go to the office", which turned out to be the most effective disciplinary method seen yet, and always worked. 
Rowlands actually seemed to be even inspired by some of Meme Lord and the Council's slang, once telling a student shouting to his friend "you're so shrekking loud". He is also the only teacher to date to refer to Chromebooks as "chromejohns" and once even called the Meme Bible by name. On 4/23/2019, Rowlands made history by putting Vector himself on a slide in a presentation, with a note: "this is for you, (meme lord)."
A common joke that arose was that Rowlands was powerful enough to defeat Thanos, often backed up by S. Schneider as well. This was mainly due to Infinity War releasing recently, and as the joke grew, the lore grew. Eventually the story climaxed in Rowlands getting the infinity gauntlet itself, and becoming Thanos after defeating him. Near the release of Avengers: Endgame, on April 30, 2019, Meme Lord simply wrote on Rowlands board: "Mr Rowlands kills thanos today!". Rowlands, seeing this, walks over, erases "kills", and replaces it, the final new quote saying "Mr Rowlands talks it out with thanos today!".
Finally, the ultimate form of Rowlands came into existence on May 1, 2019, 8:01 AM, when Meme Lord uploaded the first edit of "Thanowlands", a cheap edit of Thanos with Rowland's face plastered over him. 7 hours later, Mike Kachowski makes an edit and makes Rowlands face purple to match Thanos's skin tone. This image was printed out promptly and even hung up above Rowlands door for quite a while, until a random idiot student ripped it down. Hope that kid dies. It was even planned with S. Schneider, who was in charge of the AHHS TV Studio, to put Thanowlands onscreen for the April Fools morning announcements, for everyone in the school to see, but unfortunately we were told not to last minute.
Around March 7, 2019, the term "Rowlsted" was coined by Meme Lord, to be used when someone in the class is roasted, particularly by Rowlands himself. It was used several times during class and was written on the board a few times. Another term would be "Paulicy". (Self explanatory). Both of these were added to Urban Dictionary on December 6, 2019. Something else that was added was a 'definition' for Rowlands himself, which was actually the thing that urged Meme Lord to make an addition in the first place, as someone had previously made a definition for Rowlands in 2018, though it was rather demeaning, depicting him as "having a meth addiction". Therefore Meme Lord made his own definition, including his defeat of Thanos in it of course. Slowly this definition overtook the old one in likes. 
== Legacy ==
Rowlands ultimately became the most legendary meme teacher of them all, Meme Lord drawing Vectors on his board until the last day of school, and Thanowlands becoming legendary amongst students. Rowlands is referenced constantly to this day, and as new students find the Rowlands Urban Dictionary definitions, the more Thanowlands lore is spread. "Rowland's Thanos-Slaying Sword", a Netherite sword with a max sharpness enchantment is hidden in Rowlands classroom in the AHHS Minecraft map.
Rowlands was of course featured as a Teacher.mp4, and is the only teacher.mp4 that uses the Zimbus theme song as its music track. 
It was reported by Tactician on 8/17/2022 that Rowlands had, unfortunately, switched classrooms. His classroom now occupied by Noone.
