Joplin Schools is proud to annouce the addition of our esports program. Esports in schools provide students with more than just a chance to compete in video games—they open doors to valuable educational and personal development opportunities. These programs promote teamwork, strategic thinking, and communication skills, while also offering a welcoming environment for students with diverse interests.

In addition to fostering social connections, Esports encourages discipline, time management, and problem-solving abilities, which are crucial for academic and future career success. With pathways to scholarships and professional opportunities, Esports can inspire students to explore STEM fields, digital arts, and other emerging industries.

By embracing Esports, schools create a dynamic, inclusive space that blends learning and fun, preparing students for a technology-driven future.
