Spring 2026 · Torch: U.S. · STATE UPDATES
"Salvete!
Since the last state update, the Alabama JCL has been busy planning our state convention, which is March 5-6th. We’ve hosted multiple board meetings, held many non-convention contests, and published multiple editions of our publication, Dicamus. State convention isn’t all that we have coming up though. Soon after, we’ll be holding elections to vote for our new state officers and prepping for nationals. That’s all we have for now, but stay tuned for our summer update where we’ll unpack our recent events! Valete!"
"Salvete omnes!
It’s been an interesting winter so far up here in the Last Frontier, moving from cold snaps to piles of snow. We’ve started a Latin class as a continuation from the Latin camp that we started last summer and it’s been going well. Other than that, it’s been pretty quiet and dark up here, so here’s hoping for some more sunlight in the days to come! Gratias for all your support!"
"Salvete omnes!
This last winter was a plentiful one for AZJCL as we navigated through a lot of firsts. Our all-new officer board ushered in an exciting new year which saw almost a 25% increase in state membership! The enthusiasm of our new chapter schools has been consistent and amazing to watch. Our upcoming state convention on February 28 th will see a record number of students participating in a myriad of classical activities, including themed Jeopardy and Gladiatorial combat. This year we’ve been focusing on our chapter’s commitment to service projects. On three separate occasions, member schools have successfully organized volunteer projects to help local charitable causes, and we couldn’t be prouder of all they’ve accomplished! As our beautiful state begins to experience the warmth of spring, we invite our JCL’ers to revel in this year’s triumphs and look forward to a bright future!"
