Joplin High School junior selected for MIT summer program

(From Joplin Schools)

We know our Eagles are capable of amazing successes, and here's another outstanding example:

Joplin High School junior Christian Cavener is one of only 80 students worldwide to have been accepted to attend the MITES Summer Program at MIT in Cambridge, MA this summer!

MITES is MIT's Introduction to Technology, Engineering, and Science, and their summer program is a six-week residential summer opportunity for rising seniors. 

At MITES Summer, students take five college-level math, science, engineering, and humanities courses. Throughout the six-week period, students will also participate in non-academic student mixers and explorations of the Greater Boston area. 

MITES Summer is one of the most prestigious summer programs for high schoolers in the world. Nearly 4,100 students apply each year, and acceptance is based on a number of factors such as a student's passion for STEM and a strong academic record.
We know you'll represent Joplin Schools well, Christian, and we're excited you have this opportunity to learn more about your future!
