Formed in 1955, the Tennessee Junior Classical League and its parent organization, the NJCL, are non-profit fraternal organizations whose purpose is to promote appreciation and enthusiasm for studying Latin and the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. Any junior high or high school student who is currently enrolled in Latin, Greek, or a classical humanities course may join TJCL and NJCL. Also any junior high or high school student who has completed two years of study in Latin or Greek is eligible. Even students who are taking these courses via satellite can join!
JCL is the largest academic organization in America for junior high and high school students, and Tennessee comprises a large portion of the national roll. If you are a Latin teacher interested in starting a TJCL chapter, feel free to contact the TJCL Co-Chairs. TJCL dues are $3.00 per student plus a $10.00 fee for each chapter. For students, see your Latin teacher if you would like to join. Visit the rest of this site if you want to find out more about our activities!
