Tyler Roberts
Tyler Roberts graduated from Lee in 2011 with a degree in health/physical education. Since then, he has taught middle school physical education, high school health/wellness, and coached high school sports. He is currently a health and wellness teacher and head baseball coach at Meigs County High School in Tennessee, as well as a part-time law enforcement officer. “As a former student-athlete, Lee prepared me for the teaching and coaching career by establishing high expectations from professors and coaches from the very beginning,” said Tyler. “This, combined with rigorous undergraduate and post-graduate studies and research, made for an exceptional education.” According to Tyler, Lee is a place that exemplified the overwhelming love of Christ, present in students, faculty, and engrained in the daily teaching and learning.
