The Westlake Latin Club is an organization designed to give Latin students the opportunity to dive into the classics and ancient Roman culture.
We explore various aspects of Latin including grammar, culture, mythology, literature, and vocabulary, with oppourtunities for students to compete in all of these categories at district, state, and national levels.
Our members, all of whom have studied the Latin language for at least one year, meet regularly for fun events, competitions, and community service opportunities.
Interested in joining? Feel free to contact us at here or stop by room 226 or 227!
