In 2010, she was promoted to principal of Walkersville Middle. In 2013, she became Student Achievement supervisor, and was promoted in 2015 to System Accountability and School Improvement director. 

Margaret (Meg) Lee is director of the new Organizational Development Department, created to further the FCPS commitment to support employees’ professional growth. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English in 1996 at Hood College and her Master’s in Education, Educational Administration and Supervision in 2001 at Frostburg State University. Lee began her career with FCPS in 1996, teaching language arts.
