We are pleased to share an update regarding safe drinking water levels at Gregori High School.
As we previously communicated, routine water testing conducted in June identified elevated lead levels in several sink faucets on campus. As a precaution, Modesto City Schools took drinking fountains out of service, provided bottled water, and worked with regulatory agencies to conduct additional testing to address the identified concerns.
We have now received the results of the most recent testing, conducted on July 29, 2026. The results met water quality standards and were below the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s action level for lead in drinking water.
Based on these latest results, the previously identified concerns have been resolved. The existing notice on campus was removed.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of our students, families, and staff throughout this process. The health and safety of our school community remain our highest priority, and the district will continue to follow all required water quality monitoring protocols.
As part of required public education and notification related to the earlier testing results, Modesto City Schools is providing additional resources with information about lead in drinking water and steps individuals can take to reduce exposure.
These resources are now available on our website:
These materials are being provided as part of required public education and do not represent a change in Gregori High School's most recent water testing results.
The health and safety of our students and staff remain our highest priority. Modesto City Schools will continue to follow all required water quality monitoring and notification protocols.
