Montgomery County Public Schools has named Dominick McKee as the division’s next Director of Human Resources.

McKee brings 23 years of experience in public education. He currently serves as chief human resources officer for Roanoke City Public Schools, where he oversees recruitment, staffing, employee relations, compensation, and professional learning.

In addition to his human resources experience, McKee has been a principal, assistant principal, and school counselor.

Before his current role, McKee served as assistant director of human resources for Montgomery County Public Schools from 2019 to 2021. In that capacity, he supported recruitment efforts, coordinated employee training programs, analyzed workforce data, and managed employee relations matters.

“Dominick knows Montgomery County Public Schools and understands the important role our employees play in supporting students,” said Superintendent Dr. Kelly Guempel. “His experience in both human resources and school leadership will serve our division well, and we are excited to welcome him back to MCPS.”

McKee holds a master’s degree in counseling and human development and a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies, both from Radford University. He also earned an administration and educational leadership endorsement from the university and is currently pursuing a doctor of education degree through the American College of Education.

“I am honored to join Montgomery County Public Schools as Director of Human Resources and to work alongside our division staff, administrators, professional and classified staff, families, and community partners,” he said. “Our employees play a vital role in supporting student success, and I look forward to working collaboratively to recruit, retain, and support a strong team across the division. I believe in listening first, building trust, and ensuring every employee feels valued and supported in their work. Together, we will continue to build a positive environment where staff feel valued and students are prepared to succeed.”

McKee will assume his new role effective July 1, 2026.
