Latin Club

Why you should join Latin Club

Latin Club is open to anyone who is interested in Latin, languages, or ancient history and culture. The club is student-run and if you have an idea for an activity, please let the officers know and we will try to make it happen! Our activities are a mix of Latin extracurricular events, school spirit events/club competitions, service activities, and events that are just in the fun category! Last year, we had 48 members and joining is a great way to meet new people and develop an interest you have.

Why you should be an officer

The cliché is that colleges love it when students are members of many clubs. That is not so; it is much better to show a commitment to a few things vs. “just being a member” of many organizations. Being an officer in a club gives you great experience generating, developing, and implementing ideas as well as motivating other people. You will get a lot more out of class and the club if you are involved in planning and running activities.
