Salvete omnes! Welcome to the Maryland Junior Classical League's (MDJCL) website. The MDJCL is a chapter of the National Junior Classical League (NJCL), an organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of the Classics. Formed in 1936 and sponsored by the American Classical League (ACL), NJCL is the largest classical organization in the world, encompassing over 47,000 junior and senior high school students. As of 2012 MDJCL has 22 local chapters from across the state, with nearly 500 members. Any school with a Latin club that wants to join MDJCL will find the information they need here. Each year MDJCL sponsors certamina, other contests and activities, and holds a spring convention. In 2012 MDJCL closed out the year with a convention at Linganore High School in Frederick which drew almost 200 participants who came to race chariots, showcase their artistic, academic, and athletic skills, visit a Roman reenactment encampment, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow classics enthusiasts.
