About the California Junior Classical League
CJCL, California Junior Classical League, was founded in the mid-1950's as a state chapter of the National Junior Classical League, the largest Classical organization in the world today with over 50,000 members. Like all other JCL chapters, our purpose is to encourage an interest in and an appreciation of the language, literature and culture of ancient Greece and Rome and to impart an understanding of the debt of our own culture to that of Classical antiquity. There are active chapters all across the state.
About the CJCL State Convention
In addition to other regular activities, a state convention is held every year alternately between Northern and Southern California. There have been over fifty state conventions, all modeled on the NJCL Convention. The most recent state conventions were held in 2008 at University High school in Irvine, in 2007 at the Menlo School in Atherton, in 2006 at Miramonte High School, and in 2005 at University High School in Irvine.
The Harker School will be hosting the 2009 CJCL State Convention on March 27 and 28, 2009.
