Principal's Message

 

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
