The Adults of Abbott Elementary

Abbott Elementary is an award-winning sitcom that follows a group of passionate (and quirky) educators in an underfunded Philadelphia public school. Below, you can read more about the lead characters at Abbott, and also find out which one you relate to most!


Janine Teagues
Like Janine (or Ms. Teagues), you’re an incredibly optimistic and passionate person—maybe to the point of being a teensy bit delusional, but who’s to say? Although you can be a bit of a people pleaser, you have an admirable amount of heart and idealism. Ultimately, you just care deeply about improving the lives of the people around you and making the world a kinder, more equitable place. Your boundless energy and plucky persistence are sure to take you far!

Gregory Eddie
Like Gregory Eddie, you can come off as pretty stoic and serious, and you tend to keep to yourself (for the most part). You like things to be simple, clean, and according to plan, and you’re very meticulous and perfectionistic when it comes to nearly all aspects of your life. While you generally don’t let your emotions run your life, you actually have a genuinely kind and caring heart, and you find ways to let yourself relax and get in touch with nature whenever you can.

Barbara Howard
Like Mrs. Barbara Howard, you’re highly respected by everyone who knows and loves you—and for good reason! Your creativity abounds, your wisdom is endless, and while you can be stern, you’re deeply nurturing, and you only set high standards for others when you know it’ll make them better and happier in the long run. You may also be a fan of rules and traditions, and you like to stick to the way you’ve always done things. Ultimately, however, you care for your family and community above all else, so you’ll always try to do what’s best for them, even if it means reevaluating your own routines.

Melissa Schemmenti
Like Melissa (or Ms. Schemmenti), you’re a wise-cracking, fierce, and no-nonsense person whose street smarts and resourcefulness get you everything you need in life. However, despite your somewhat tough and pragmatic exterior, you’re deeply caring, loyal, and protective—especially when it comes to your friends, family, and loved ones. Your confidence also comes with a competitive side, which translates into various aspects of your life, including work, studies, or hobbies (which, if you’re really like Melissa, probably include athletics).

Jacob Hill
Jacob Hill (or Mr. Hill) is the history teacher at Abbot and, like him, you’re a wonderfully earnest, well-meaning, and endearing person who always tries to do what’s right—which maybe means trying TOO hard, if that’s even a thing! In other words, while your efforts to help others or help the world could sometimes be described as corny or over-the-top, they come from a true place of care, sincerity, and passion. No one could be mad at all of that—especially when it comes packaged in a human Golden Retriever (that’s you, btw!).

Ava Coleman
Like Ava (or Principal Coleman), you’re jam-packed with charisma, wit, and energy—and we’re not mad at it! Your strong personality can make you seem a little ~unhinged~ or chaotic, but you’re actually surprisingly resourceful, and you have a deep, caring heart underneath your outspoken, chatty, and highly social exterior. At the end of the day, you’re not afraid to be your true self—especially when that true self is as fabulous, chic, and hilarious as you are!

Mr. Johnson
Like Mr. Johnson, the custodian of Abbott Elementary, you’re a truly fascinating, multi-faceted, and dynamic person—which may make it hard for others to get a real read on you! We, however, know that you’re an eclectic, wise, and independent person who loves to think for themselves and stand firm in their convictions. While you may keep some secrets close to the vest, and you’ve definitely got an eclectic side, you’re happy to let in the people that you really care about, and you’re always happy to share your latest philosophical thought or innovative idea.
