Ava Coleman is a main character in Abbott Elementary, now streaming on Hulu. Played by comedian Janelle James, Ava is the principal of Abbott Elementary – a role she got by blackmailing the superintendent. High-maintenance yet hilarious, Ava is a chaotic force among the teachers who take their job seriously. She displays multiple instances of vanity, using school funds for trips and beauty. She often makes fun of Janine and Jacob. Even though she’s bad at her job, she has grown to love it and has shown interest in learning how to be a better principal.
