Five Decades and Beyond: Dr. Felicia Mayfield Begins a New Role with PAGE

from PAGE One, Professional Association of Georgia Educators

With wisdom and tireless energy, Dr. Felicia Moss Mayfield has spent five decades shaping Georgia’s educational landscape — and she’s not finished yet.

Now a PAGE Membership Services Representative (MSR) serving DeKalb County Schools and City Schools of Decatur, she brings her experience and expertise to providing personalized support to educators throughout their careers. Also a PAGE coach, Mayfield is already a vital contributor to the organization, guiding fellow educators through tough challenges, understanding that each of them has unique needs.

“I’ve had 50 years in this profession and I’m not about to sit on that. It’s meant to be shared.”

“I’ve had 50 years in this profession,” observes Mayfield, “and I’m not about to sit on that. It’s meant to be shared. I’ve always enjoyed PAGE because it is built on positivity and professionalism. It’s a place to pass on everything I’ve learned.”

Mayfield’s career began at Warren Elementary in DeKalb County, where she taught first and fifth grade for seven years. She later became assistant principal at Gresham Park Elementary, then principal at Meadowview. Her last principalship was at Allgood Elementary. She then rose through district leadership in many roles, including associate superintendent and chief of staff.

After retiring from DeKalb, Mayfield turned her attention to preparing educators as Director of Field Services and Partnerships at Clark Atlanta University’s School of Education. There, she mentored future educators and aligned university training with real-world classroom needs.

A proud three-time graduate of Georgia State University, Mayfield calls it her “mission field.” She has served as alumni president and is one of the university’s board of trustees. “Being a trustee is an honor,” she shares, “and it lets me help build a path for the next generation.”

Mayfield is proud that education runs in her family: two of her children became high school math teachers. “They’re even more serious than I was,” she adds.

Mayfield remains active as a competitive swimmer preparing for her first National Senior Olympics after winning gold at the Georgia Golden Olympics. She is a master gardener — one of her many, diverse interests — and is active in her church.
