Janine Teagues is one of the main characters of ABC's sitcom Abbott Elementary. She is a second-grade teacher at Willard R. Abbott Elementary School who "has a mission to help the lives of her students."
She is portrayed by the show's creator, Quinta Brunson.
Personality[]
Janine Teagues is a plucky and optimistic second-grade teacher at Abbott Elementary who remains unjaded by all the school lacks. Ms. Teagues strives to make sure her students have enough to learn and grow. In a lot of ways, Ms. Teagues is the most staunch critic of the system she works within, even if she is the most happy-go-lucky.[9]
During her teenage years and in college, Janine wasn't popular and didn't have friends, except Sahar.
History[]
Pre-Series[]
Janine Teagues grew up in Philadelphia, the same city where she would one day teach. She was raised primarily by her mother, Vanetta, in a household where financial stability was always just out of reach. Her mother’s inconsistent presence, emotional unavailability, and occasional manipulative streak forced Janine to become self-reliant early in life.
Her older sister, Ayesha, was a key figure in her childhood—though their relationship was complicated. They learned to navigate a household where affection was scarce, often supporting each other in quiet ways but also building unspoken resentments over who bore more of the burden of their mother’s moods and needs.
In school, Janine was the kind of student who always volunteered first, loved raising her hand, and tried to make every group project fun. She wasn’t the most popular kid, but she found her place in extracurricular activities—especially student tutoring programs. She discovered she enjoyed helping younger kids learn, even if that just meant explaining fractions or reading aloud after school.
College and Career Aspirations
Janine attended a local university in Philadelphia, majoring in elementary education. She wasn’t the top of her class academically, but her professors noted her natural warmth with children and her belief that school should be a place of joy as much as learning. During her senior year, she completed her student teaching at a public elementary school with scarce resources, which both discouraged and inspired her.
It was during this time she met and reconnected with Tariq, her middle-school crush turned long-term boyfriend. Tariq’s carefree, often self-absorbed personality provided Janine with some comfort and familiarity, even if it also kept her from exploring who she was outside of the relationship.
Why She Chose Abbott Elementary[]
After graduation, Janine could have applied to suburban schools with better pay and more supplies, but she specifically wanted to work in the Philadelphia public school system. She’d grown up seeing teachers who stayed—people like Barbara Howard—become anchors in their communities, and she wanted to be that person for her own students.
Abbott Elementary was one of the first schools that accepted her application. The position came with low pay, outdated materials, and no promise of extra support, but it was in the neighborhood she loved. She was hired as a second-grade teacher, and within her first few weeks, she’d already started decorating her classroom with handmade posters, thrift-store bookshelves, and lesson plans packed with enthusiasm.
Early Days at Abbott[]
Before the events of the Pilot, Janine had already spent one year teaching at Abbott. That year was a crash course in resilience.
She discovered the school’s principal, Ava Coleman, wasn’t exactly the hands-on leader she’d hoped for—preferring personal projects and self-promotion over administrative support.
She began quietly looking up to veteran teachers Barbara Howard and Melissa Schemmenti. Barbara’s composure and Melissa’s street-smart practicality were qualities Janine admired (and often tried to imitate, with varying success).
She struck up a friendly rapport with the school’s custodian, Mr. Johnson, who gave her the unofficial Abbott motto: “You can’t fix the building, but you can fix your corner of it.”
Even then, Janine was already known among her peers for going above and beyond—often dipping into her own pocket to buy supplies, staying after school to create colorful bulletin boards, and trying to organize small events for her students. These efforts sometimes came across as naïve to her colleagues, who’d long since learned to manage their expectations in an underfunded school system.
Season One[]
From the very pilot, Janine Teagues is instantly characterized as an optimistic and deeply passionate second-grade teacher, emboldened by her calling—yet immediately confronted by the harsh realities of Philadelphia’s underfunded public schools. Though the city pours resources into renovating the Eagles stadium, her school is left scraping by, forcing her to improvise—with a rug becoming a “huge Xanax” for her students’ calm. Even this simple comfort is jeopardized when a student pees on it—but with community help, she manages to replace it (Pilots episode recap) .
Janine’s respect for veteran educator Barbara Howard is evident from the start. She admires Barbara as a “work mother,” seeking mentorship and striving to reach her level of professionalism and poise .
Season 1 chronicles Janine’s growing relationships with her colleagues, starting with Gregory Eddie. Their first awkward encounter in the school bathroom quickly evolves into mutual respect—Gregory eventually opts to stay at Abbott “for the kids,” a choice heavily influenced by Janine’s sincerity . As Gregory hesitates to decorate his classroom, Janine’s encouragement nudges him toward embracing his role and visibility in the learning environment .
At the same time, Janine attempts to expand opportunities for her students by launching a gifted program after a high-achieving student transfers in. However, recognizing the unintended exclusion it creates, she dismantles the program and replaces it with an inclusive rotational enrichment system—a move that balances ambition with empathy and emphasizes equity in education.
Threats to Abbott’s funding emerge when Superintendent Denzel blackmails Principal Ava, prompting Janine to stand up for Ava’s place in the school. They win the board hearing through an honest speech anchored in the worth of their teaching staff, rather than the principal’s own merits .
Other instances show Janine’s realization that she can’t (and shouldn’t) do it all. A notable example is in the “Step Class” episode: Janine reluctantly entrusts her after-school dance class to Ava, who unexpectedly delivers, proving Janine doesn’t always have to shoulder the burden alone .
A significant emotional arc unfolds with Janine’s long-term boyfriend, Tariq, her childhood sweetheart since middle school. Their seemingly stable relationship unravels during the season finale at the zoo field trip, when Tariq accepts a New York opportunity without consulting her. Faced with the painful truth of growing apart, Janine wisely chooses to end their 11-year relationship, affirming her own independence and dedication to Abbott.
One of the most powerful moments in Season 1 comes at its close: Janine finally asserts her classroom authority during a field trip—without needing Barbara’s intervention, she regains control with a firm but compassionate presence. Overwhelmed, she tells the camera that she finally belongs at Abbott Elementary and that this school is where she should be—highlighting her professional and emotional maturation.
Certain scenes encapsulate Janine’s unfiltered character and evolving confidence:
The iconic red dress at the teacher’s conference symbolized a rare—and spectacular—assertion of personal style. Fans loved it as her “main character energy” moment, representing a newfound assurance .
The humorous yet relatable vending-machine fiasco in “Gifted Program” illustrates her persistence—even over small frustrations—a perfect example of how Janine’s enthusiasm can be both endearing and chaotic.
Throughout Season 1, Janine embodies the tension between heart and head. She begins idealistically, ready to “fix everything,” but gradually learns that systemic issues require more than her good intentions. Her idealism remains intact, but is now tempered with prudent realism and emotional maturity .
Season Two[]
The season begins with Janine—ever-optimistic, yet emotionally overwhelmed—trying to keep everything together after the fallout from her long-term relationship with Tariq. In the premiere, aptly titled “Development Day,” her unpaid parking tickets land her car booted outside school. Despite the stress, she powers through, organizing a school mixer featuring Gritty the Flyers mascot to lift spirits. Yet the incident is symbolic: Janine’s personal life is unraveling, but she’s still determined to be the beacon of positivity for her students and colleagues. Jacob offers financial help, and support from Barbara and Melissa reinforces that while she’s at a turning point, she’s not alone.
Season 2 broadens our lens into Janine’s life beyond the classroom. In “The Principals’ Office,” we see her meddling with Melissa’s family dynamics, an attempt to reconnect Melissa with her estranged sister—but Janine ends up chastised for crossing boundaries instead of showing support.
The arrival of her sister Ayesha deepens this theme. A tense game night reveals years of resentment as Janine bore the burden of their difficult mother. When the sisters confront their fraught history on a street corner, it marks a pivotal emotional breakthrough: vulnerability shared and the beginnings of genuine reconnection.
Beyond personal storylines, Season 2 sharpens its focus on public education systems and their inequities. Janine’s exposure to the freshly-resourced Addington Charter School—with smooth ceilings, computer labs, and French lessons—stings deeply. Yet instead of abdicating hope, she channels inspiration into advocating for better conditions at Abbott, even repainting classrooms (much to Ava’s bureaucratic dismay) . This arc underscores Janine’s unwavering belief in public schools—even when systems make it hard.
The slow-burn dynamic between Janine and Gregory takes center stage. Small gestures reveal big feelings: Janine brings Gregory a “water ice” treat after his breakup, signaling her caring attentiveness . Gregory does remember details like her favorite movie (“Jumanji”)—more than her ex ever did .
A grand and romantic scene unfolds in Episode 16: amidst the blooming “living classroom,” Janine and Gregory share a tender, emotional first kiss—an iconic moment in their evolving relationship.
Yet, emotional baggage rears up. Maurice—Janine’s ex and Gregory’s close friend—confronts Janine, calling her breakup "selfish." Confronted with this accusation, Janine falters emotionally, distancing herself at moments she deeply connected before.
The season culminates in the two-part finale: an overnight field trip to the Franklin Institute. What was meant to be a romantic push comes with complications. Janine, ensnared by guilt and doubt after meeting Maurice, recoils. Gregory confesses his feelings—heartfelt, brave—but Janine, still fragile, admits she’s not ready to commit to a serious relationship. Instead, she asks for more time to heal and find herself first.
The finale balances tangible emotional growth with realism. It’s not about dramatic celebrity romance; it’s about two colleagues learning to stand by each other. They choose friendship—a foundational and tender bond—showing that slow, patient development can be just as compelling.
In “Mom,” Janine’s estranged mother, Vanetta (Taraji P. Henson), suddenly shows up at her workplace. Their fraught relationship becomes painfully clear: Vanetta attempts to manipulate Janine into paying her phone bill under the guise of concern. Janine instinctively plays caretaker, offering to pay two months and setting boundaries: after that, Vanetta must be self-reliant. It’s Janine taking the hard—but mature—path, setting emotional and practical limits. The hug at the end speaks volumes: progress, not perfection.
Throughout Season 2, Janine grows from someone seeking approval and love into a teacher who grapples with her own emotional needs—and learns to assert them. She still fixes things, still hopes to improve systems, still cares deeply—but starts learning where genuine empathy ends and unhealthy codependency begins. She’s learning to live for herself—before loving someone else.
Season Three[]
Season Four[]
Relationships[]
Family[]
Ayesha Teagues (Sister)[]
Vanetta Teagues (Mother)[]
Very little is known about Janine's mother, and besides that, their relationship is not the healthiest. In Open House, it was shown that their communication is very scant, as Janine's many text messages are not responded to. It is presumed that Janine's relationship with her mother is one of the reasons she is very attached to Barbara.
Janine syas she used to tell her mom exactly what she wanted to hear, hoping she would just say it back (like love, and support, etc), but her mom would just keep playing Janine’s Game Boy.[10]
Romantic[]
Maurice (Ex-Boyfriend)[]
Maurice and Janine met in a hookah bar during Christmas break. Maurice was with Gregory, and Janine was with Erika, initially. Maurice had stated to Gregory that Janine was his type, but Gregory asked that he not hit on her, so Maurice did not make a move. However, when Gregory left to be with Amber, and Erika, to be with someone she met in the club, the two shared a conversation, and Maurice officially introduced himself to Janine. After that night, the two started texting each other and eventually started dating. After the events in Teacher Conference, Janine thought of breaking up with Maurice. She initially did not want to tell him about kissing Gregory, but Gregory did not want that to weigh on him, so they decided to tell Maurice about the kiss, together. Maurice thought of continuing his relationship with Janine even after finding out about the kiss. However, when Janine breaks up with him in front of Gregory, he thinks it is "sick" and asks the two to leave.
Gregory Eddie (Boyfriend)[]
Gregory is one of Janine's good friends, although after the events in "Teacher Conference," their relationship has taken quite a turn. It is implied that Gregory has harbored a crush on her ever since their first interaction and his attraction to her is noticed by the other staff members particularly Barbara and Mr. Johnson. Greg, like Jacob, is one of Janine's most supportive friends, albeit he is much more levelheaded than her and is always willing to offer his input even if it is negative, such as being critical about the gifted program that Janine wanted to create. Janine is one of the reasons why Greg decided to remain at Abbott Elementary as a full-time teacher despite his father's urging to move on, and Janine has helped him open up to his students and the job more. For example, in Wishlist, Janine reveals that his students look up to him very much and urges him to decorate his classroom. Their interactions can be at times flirtatious, such as when Greg fixes a crooked painting in her classroom at the end of Light Bulb or when Greg tells Janine that "it's a lot easier to say yes to things when she's the one asking" when Janine asked him to help Ava on her presentation with the superintendent even though Ava took the job he wanted. It is also notable that Janine was disappointed to see Gregory in a relationship with Barbara's daughter Taylor at the end of "Zoo Balloon" when she broke up with Tariq. In the beginning of Season 4, It is stated that they are trying out a relationship.
Tariq Temple (Ex-Boyfriend)[]
Tariq is Janine's ex-boyfriend, and also her only relationship ever. Tariq and Janine met in 8th grade and had been dating since without any breaks. While Tariq and Janine's relationship is quite healthy, it was noted that they had financial troubles and Janine was, at times, frustrated with Tariq's lack of direction and flightiness. Although Janine's colleagues respected Tariq, some, particularly Barbara and Jacob, were critical of him and especially of their relationship. In Zoo Balloon, it was revealed that Tariq was given a job offer where he had to relocate to New York City. With the advice of her colleagues, Janine decided that it was best for her and Tariq to take a break from their relationship as she was happy and wanted to stay at Abbott Elementary. In Development Day, it is shown that Janine is still navigating the effects of their breakup, such as getting her car towed because of his unpaid parking tickets, facing eviction, and just genuinely missing an important part of her life.
Friends[]
Ava Coleman[]
Ava and Janine can most accurately be seen as "frenemies," as Janine is extremely critical of Ava's lack of aptitude as principal. Janine is frequently the butt of many of Ava's jokes, typically on Janine's optimistic attitude and her wardrobe, and usually catches Ava's ire whenever Janine attempts to go over Ava's authority for help, such as in the first episode when she writes an email to the superintendent and the email gets bounced back to Ava's email. Throughout the series, their relationship becomes more friendly as they collaborate on a step team together and Janine offers to help Ava with her presentation for the superintendent where it is revealed that Ava recognizes the hard work that Janine and the other teachers in Abbott Elementary do. Janine also witnesses a much more tender side of Ava when she learns that Ava cares for her grandmother who suffers from Alzheimer's.
Ava and Janine have gone to McDonalds together outside of school. Ava tried to get Janine to pretend to be her daughter so she could get a Happy Meal and Janine refused.[11]
Barbara Howard[]
Janine sees Barbara as a role model and a secondary mother figure, much to Barbara's chagrin although Barbara holds a soft spot for Janine. When Janine first joined Abbott Elementary, Barbara was particularly annoyed by her pluckiness and optimism but was moved by Janine's absolute devotion to making a difference for her students. Despite being frequently annoyed by Janine's antics, she is quite proud of Janine and supports her frequently as shown by providing her with cleaning supplies for her rug in the first episode, and when Barbara remarks how far Janine has gotten as a teacher in "Zoo Balloon." An important aspect of their relationship can be seen as a conflict between traditional and new teaching styles as seen with how Barbara voices her disdain for the use of technology in her classroom and Janine uses local Philadelphia vernacular in a lesson with phonetics with her students.
Jacob Hill[]
Janine is good friends with Jacob Hill, who is a History teacher at Abbott Elementary School. They came in with other teachers at Abbott Elementary School in 2020, but they were the only ones to stay while several of them resigned. Jacob is typically one of Janine's most supportive friends, sharing her naïve although well-intentioned and optimistic nature. They collaborate frequently in making Abbott Elementary a better place, such as spearheading the gifted program together and working together to do things such as fixing the school's power and holding an intervention assembly for the Desking issue although all of their attempts tend to backfire. Jacob is also well acquainted with Tariq, Janine's then-boyfriend in Season 1, even so much as to urge her to break up with him for her personal growth. In "Zoo Balloon," Jacob is distraught at the idea of Janine moving to New York City.
Janine confides in Jacob about a lot of her life. In "Work Family" we learn she has told Jacob that she falls asleep to "Last Man Standing" every night.
Melissa Schemmenti[]
Melissa is the other second-grade teacher at Abbott Elementary. Like Barbara, Melissa is annoyed by Janine's pluckiness and optimism but is supportive of Janine's antics and attempts to make the school a better place, such as at the end of Pilot where she uses one of her connections to get her and her fellow teachers rugs for their classrooms. In "Student Transfer," Janine and Melissa's relationship became rocky because Janine took a bad review on her teaching personally and took it out on Melissa but they patched it up at the end of the episode. In "Art Teacher," Melissa was increasingly frustrated at Janine's friend Sahar with the Peter Rabbit project but was moved by how Janine stood up to Sahar for her.
Mr. Johnson[]
Mr. Johnson and Janine have interacted very little throughout Season 1, although Janine did voice her concern about Mr. Johnson substituting for a class when he is a "70-year-old janitor who voted for Kanye."
Sahar[]
Sahar is one of Janine's friends from college. Janine credits Sahar as the person who got her out of her shell in college. During the events of "Art Teacher," it is shown that their relationship was uneven as Janine and Sahar had very little in common and Janine likely enjoyed Sahar's company because of how cool she was. The unevenness of their relationship is shown through an anecdote about how, during college, Sahar was able to get into an event but Janine had to wait outside, and how Sahar's artistic and expressive perspectives tend to go over Janine's head. Their relationship begins to fray when Sahar joins Abbott Elementary as she butts heads with Melissa over the Peter Rabbit project. After Sahar uses the new Peter Rabbit books for an art exhibit (while also disparaging the classic tale throughout the episode) Janine stands up to Sahar and quits. It is presumed that their friendship is over after the episode.

Behind the Scenes[]
Development[]
In an interview with Insider, Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson, who plays Janine, revealed that Janine was just a side character who was a staff member at Abbott. During the initial visions of the series, kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard–portrayed by Sheryl Lee Ralph–was meant to be the "driving force" of the series.
And then [Warner Bros] said, 'You're crazy if you think we are buying the show without you in it, and I was like, 'Oh, okay. That's fair.' So, I had to put myself in it.[16]
Accolades[]
For the role of Janine Teagues, portrayer, and Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson received several nominations, including a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2022.[17]
