The Lincoln Latin Club is more of a family than an organization. We are a mesh of personalities bonded by our love for the Classics. With high school being a tough time for many teenagers to grow and discover who they are and who they want to become, the Lincoln Latin Club has been a safe haven for many of its members. The warm and welcoming atmosphere of the Latin classroom combined with the friendly faces of its members offers a home for those in search of a place to be themselves.
Our amazing sponsor is Mrs. Alex Ramsey. She started working at Lincoln High School in 2016 and has only helped our club evolve into the family that it is today. She always leaves her door open for anyone who needs a place to talk, study, or just sit back and relax. She also pushes us to work at peak performance because she genuinely wants the best for everyone in this club and her classroom. Without her support and devotion to this family, our club would be in shambles.
Speaking of performing, our 84 members practice and study year round to compete against the sharpest classical students in the state. We compete at the local, regional, state, and national level to show off our passion for all things Latin. Every April our team travels to Orlando to attend the annual FJCL State Latin Forum. Weeks of preparation all lead up to those three days spent submerged in the love of the JCL. Our club is very well-rounded, bringing a competitive team to the State Forum each year and placing high among our neighbors! The Lincoln Latin Club likes to stay busy year-round. Throughout the seasons we host a number of events celebrating the Classics and bonding our members into an even tighter-knit family. Just a few of these events include our annual Ice Cream Social, toga parties, and region-wide Saturnalia. Additionally, we commit ourselves to various service projects such as making thank you cards for our school’s custodians and collecting donations for Toys for Tots.
From our family to yours, we hope you learn to appreciate the Classics world as much as we do!
