Peer Tutoring

Here at MIT, we always strive to think of creative ways in which we could expand our educational services. We will be offering peer tutoring services here at MIT on Tuesdays each week from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. We are wanting juniors and seniors to tutor other students that may be struggling academically. This is a great opportunity for juniors and seniors to earn service hours here at school. They would also be able to include this service on their resumes, scholarships, and college applications as well. Students, please use your intelligence for the greater good of the MIT community and know what a difference you can make by contributing to their academic success. Please email your inquiries or questions to Dr. Angulo, or you can call (602) 477-2780 to speak with him. Thank you for being a part of the MIT family.

2023–2024 School Year

MIT is currently working on scheduling and plans for the upcoming 2023–2024 school year. Please complete our survey if your student will not be returning to MIT for the 2023–2024 school year. If you have more than one student not returning, please complete a separate survey for each student. If your student is not returning, you must also complete a withdrawal form from the front office on the last day of school they attend in order for their records to be sent to their new school.

If your student is planning to return to MIT for the upcoming school year, you do not have to fill anything out. Your student will automatically be reenrolled for the 2023–2024 school year.

The student council recently conducted a survey to determine the prom theme and we're thrilled to announce that the majority of the students voted for Masquerade! So get ready to don your masks and join us for a night of mystery and elegance.

The student council is also working hard on finalizing the venue and the date for the prom and we'll be sharing that information with you very soon.
