Abbott Elementary S01e10 X265 (2026)

Principal Ava Coleman is, as always, focused on the wrong things. Instead of preparing curriculum highlights, she turns the Open House into a party, hiring a DJ and focusing on making the school look "lit" for social media. She spends much of the night trying to film a viral video, ignoring the actual parents. However, in a twist of fate, her "failed" video actually boosts school enrollment because it makes Abbott look like a fun place to be.

Jacob Hill tries to connect with the parents by attempting to speak "their language," which results in some of the episode's most cringe-inducing (and funny) moments. Meanwhile, Mr. Johnson, the janitor, steals the show with his deadpan interviews. He reveals that he uses the Open House to pass out his own business cards for side hustles, ranging from notary public to taxidermy. This episode solidified Mr. Johnson as a fan-favorite background character. abbott elementary s01e10 x265
