No. The summer solstice is the day that the sun rises farthest *north* on the horizon. The equinoxes are the days that the sun rises directly to the east. The winter solstice is the day it rises farthest to the *south*.

June 21st is the longest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. So, the sun will rise earlier, and set later, and if you are north of the tropics, then it will rise a little further north (perspectively) and come a little closer to being strait over head at it's apex.

it is the longest day of the year.thus it rises at its highest point on the horizon to the east but also sets on the lowest or longest point to the west.
