Get to Know your Ag Science Teachers
Tyler McCoy
Byron Nelson's FFA Newest Agricultural Science Teacher
I grew up in Burleson Texas where I graduated from Burleson High School. I was lucky enough to meet my wonderful wife, Elesia there. We both moved to Canyon, Texas to attend West Texas A&M University and become very proud Buffalos!
There I served as a national SASES Officer, State Colligate FFA Officer, competed on the WT Crops Team, and served as a national recruiter for the university an Department of Agriculture. In 2015 I received my Bachelors of Science in Agriculture Education.
After leaving WT, we were blessed to find out that our little family would be growing to three and in September we welcomed my Daughter Briley to the world.
I started my career as the Ag Teacher at Granbury High School with the 15-16 school year. I was then blessed with the opportunity to join the team of Ag Science Teachers here at Northwest ISD and Byron Nelson High School.
We are very excited to be apart of an amazing program and district, and look forward to what the future will hold for us here!
We are expecting a baby boy come February of 2017, and feel overwhelmed to bring him into the family friendly program we have become a part of!
As our program grows, I plan to help bring the program to the next level in the areas of Plant Sciences and Research! I am excited and can't wait to grow out program!
