Dan Backes

Assistant Principal

Welcome to McKeel Academy Central. I am excited to be a part of the McKeel Academy Central Family. I have been with The Schools of McKeel Academy for 21 years and I am entering my 16th  year in administration. I received my bachelor's degree from Southeastern University. I have two master's degrees; one in Curriculum and Technology and one in Educational Leadership.  I recently received my Doctorate in Education from Florida Southern College.  For the past 17 years I have taught educational and computer science classes at the college level. 

I look forward to a great year at McKeel Academy Central. Please feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance to your child.

Sincerely,

Dr. Backes
