The 70th Annual Alabama Junior Classical League (AJCL) convention was held on March 1 on the campus of Indian Springs School.  Each year, the AJCL hosts a series of academic, athletic, and artistic olympiads, along with certamen (think quiz-bowl for the classically-minded) for all AJCL members.  Additionally, students from throughout the state participated in creative and graphic arts contests.
