Tyler Munro

Hello! My name is Tyler Munro and this will be my second year at Heritage, but my 21st as a high school math teacher. In addition to being a teacher here, I'm also the Head Baseball Coach; my 16th year as a head baseball coach. Over the years I've taught Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trig, Trig-Precalculus, Calculus, Discrete Math & Stats. I'm excited to be teaching Algebra 1, Honors Algebra 2 and Trig/Precalculs this year. Hoping that your child's experience will not only be challenging, but a fun enough experience that they look forward to taking math again!

Teaching and coaching baseball takes about 60-hrs a week of my time, so when I do finally get home, I primarily hang-out with my lovely wife and kids. My wife is an optometrist nearby; she owns the two Target optometry practices in Highlands Ranch & Lone Tree. We've been together now for 29-yrs. and have three kids, Cole (14), Bella (9) and Paisley (6). Cole's into football, drums, piano and hopes to be involved in each at Mountain Vista HS. Bella loves to dance, gymnastics and also does poms. Paisley has special needs and seems to thoroughly enjoy destroying whatever she can get her hands on!

If you'd like to reach me, my off-periods are 3rd/7th periods. During that time, you can reach me in the math department office at (303) 347-7607 or email me at tmunro@lps.k12.co.us. Please understand that I have baseball most days before and after school, so reaching me during school hours is probably your best bet.
