Archie is a retired college professor of paleontology. Despite being retired, he believes that teaching and learning never stop. He has an open door policy with kids in the neighborhood, and kids are always coming over to learn more about bones and fossils. He must be a really good teacher, because kids even go to his house on weekends. In addition to teaching kids about old bones, Archie is a deep reservoir of wisdom. Leo, for example, seeks out life and love advice from Archie.
As for Archie's relationship to Stargirl, he is her former teacher. Before attending Mica High School, Stargirl was a homeschool student. Stargirl's mother wanted Stargirl to have another teacher other than mom, so she would bring Stargirl over to Archie's house for further education. To some extent, Archie knows Stargirl better than most characters, because he has known her for many years, but even wise Archie doesn't have Stargirl completely figured out.
