Eden, NC — Rockingham County Schools is pleased to announce the appointment of Wendy McKinney as the district's new Coordinator of Elementary Programs, effective July 2026.
McKinney brings more than 28 years of experience in elementary education to the role, with a distinguished career dedicated to improving teaching and learning for students across Rockingham County. Her extensive background in curriculum and instruction, literacy, instructional coaching, professional learning, and school improvement has made her a respected leader among educators throughout the district.
Most recently, McKinney served as the district's Early Literacy Specialist through the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, where she partnered closely with Rockingham County Schools to support the implementation of statewide literacy initiatives and instructional priorities. In this role, she provided leadership for elementary literacy curriculum, coordinated district wide professional development, analyzed student achievement data, supported Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), and collaborated with school and district leaders to strengthen instructional practices.
Prior to her work with the Department of Public Instruction, McKinney served Rockingham County Schools for more than two decades as an Instructional Coach, Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Teacher, Title I Intervention Specialist, and classroom teacher at Williamsburg Elementary School. Throughout her career, she has led the implementation of evidence-based literacy initiatives, mentored teachers and instructional leaders, coordinated assessment systems, and facilitated professional learning communities focused on improving student achievement.
"Wendy's passion for elementary education, commitment to instructional excellence, and deep understanding of our district make her an outstanding choice for this leadership role," said Dr. Leslie Coleman-Cassell, Chief Academic Officer. "Her collaborative leadership style, expertise in curriculum and literacy, and unwavering focus on student success will be tremendous assets as we continue strengthening teaching and learning across Rockingham County Schools."
As Coordinator of Elementary Programs, McKinney will provide leadership in the development and implementation of elementary curriculum and instructional initiatives, support school improvement efforts, coordinate professional learning opportunities, collaborate with school leaders, and help ensure high-quality educational experiences for all elementary students.
McKinney earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Master of Arts in Education from North Carolina A&T State University. She also completed Academically and Intellectually Gifted licensure through Duke University.
"I am honored to continue serving the students, educators, and families of Rockingham County Schools in this new capacity," McKinney said. "I look forward to working alongside our outstanding elementary leaders and teachers to build upon the great work already happening in our schools and ensure every student has access to engaging, high-quality learning opportunities."

Rockingham County Schools Announces Central Office Reorganization
Rockingham County Schools will implement a Central Office reorganization effective July 1, 2026, designed to improve efficiency, strengthen district support services, and reduce administrative costs.
The reorganization, made possible through recent personnel transitions, will reduce the number of Central Office administrative positions by eliminating one Cabinet-level position, replacing one Director position with a Coordinator position, and reclassifying an existing role to better align with district needs.
These changes will streamline operations while maintaining strong support for schools, students, and staff. The revised structure aligns leadership responsibilities with organizational priorities and ensures resources are used as effectively as possible.
"Rockingham County Schools is committed to being a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars while providing exceptional support to our schools," said Superintendent Dr. Charles Perkins. "This reorganization allows us to reduce administrative costs, improve efficiency, and continue focusing resources on student success."
The new organizational structure will reduce the district's investment in Central Office administrative salaries while preserving essential services and support for school operations.
Rockingham County Schools remains committed to continuous improvement, fiscal responsibility, and ensuring every decision supports student achievement.
