Congratulations to our District Secondary Teacher of Month, Dennis Teuber, AP World History teacher and cross-country coach at Tyler Legacy High School.
Mr. Teuber exemplifies what it means to be an outstanding educator, mentor, and role model for our students.
In the classroom, Mr. Teuber’s passion for history is matched only by his commitment to excellence. His students consistently outperform both state and global averages on the AP World History exam — a testament to his skillful instruction, engaging teaching style, and deep understanding of how to challenge and inspire high school learners. Mr. Teuber says” I love my students and want what's best for them not just in the classroom but even beyond high school. My goal is for them to become independent thinkers and develop the tools they need to become college ready."
When it comes to coaching Coach Teuber says, “I am passionate about running and I want to share this passion with my athletes. Running is a great metaphor for life. Runners experience many highs and lows throughout their career, and our response to these ups and downs is what shapes us as people and as runners. I aim to create an environment that fosters growth and development and helps my runners to become productive members of society long after they leave Tyler Legacy.”
On the field, Coach Teuber brings the same level of dedication and high standards to his cross-country program. Under his leadership, Tyler Legacy runners compete at the highest levels, demonstrating not only physical endurance but also discipline, teamwork, and character — all values he instills in his athletes. His runners often speak about how his belief in them pushes them to reach new personal and competitive goals.
Beyond his achievements, what truly sets Mr. Teuber apart is his unwavering loyalty to the Tyler Legacy community. Whether he’s motivating students before an exam or lightening the mood during a tough practice, his presence brings both joy and purpose to our campus. He is respected, admired, and loved by students, parents, and colleagues alike.
