About The WJCL
Salvete omnes! We are the Walton Junior Classical League situated at Walton High School in Marietta, Georgia. As an active and dynamic community of classical enthusiasts, we participate in a plethora of classical events ranging from competitive Certamen tournaments to the prestigious National Junior Classical League Convention. As torchbearers of classical knowledge, we take pride in our accomplishments, having achieved recognition at the regional, state, and national level. Our main goal is to spread the culture of the Classics through our devotion and passion. Latin serves as a unifying force that brings us together, creating new relationships and strong bonds among our members.
