Testing for Lead in Water
-
In December 2023, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) began participating in the Georgia Department of Education’s statewide “Clean Water for Georgia Kids” program. This program tests all drinking and cooking water taps in schools for lead. Testing began in January 2024 and is scheduled to continue through July. Elementary schools were tested first before moving to middle and high schools.
To be clear, GCPS has no evidence of a widespread problem with the water quality in any school or building. This testing is a proactive measure to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff, parents, and community.
According to EPA guidelines, if any test shows lead is present at 15 parts per billion or higher, we will turn off the fixture’s water supply and immediately take action to fix the problem. The fixture will only be used again after a follow-up test confirms the water is safe to drink.
In accordance with our commitment to transparency, test results for each and every school will be available on the Clean Water for Georgia Kids Website.
For more information about our testing program, including the schedule, process, frequently asked questions, and test results, visit the GCPS website, click on Schools, and look for “Testing for Lead in Water.”

I am humbled and honored to be selected to serve as the principal of Berkmar Middle School. It is a pleasure to be part of a wonderfully diverse community. I remain dedicated to valuing each student's rich history, tradition, and experiences and providing an environment where students and families feel a sense of belonging.
My professional background started 24 years ago as a sixth-grade teacher in Gwinnett County Public Schools. I have taught multiple grade levels and served as an assistant principal at Moore Middle and Berkmar Middle Schools. Throughout my professional journey, I have remained committed to positively impacting students' lives by focusing on building positive relationships, maintaining high expectations, and providing quality rigorous instruction which promotes their future success.
As I transition into the principalship at Berkmar Middle School, I am grateful for the foundation that Dr. Dorsan has established, and I aim to continue to build upon her legacy of supporting our staff, students, and community through having an open-door policy, a listening ear, and a visible presence.
I am committed to student and teacher safety, ongoing clear communication, and valuing different opinions. I pledge to build relationships with you and develop a partnership that ensures the success of our students and the school community.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
In partnership and service,
Felecia Jones
Principal
Berkmar Middle School
