Middle & Upper School Girls Excel in Latin League Convention
Hutchison girls demonstrated a mastery of latin beyond their years at the 2016 Tennessee Junior Classical League Convention, winning 30 awards including eight awards in the National Latin Exam.
Hutchison middle and upper school Latin students earned an impressive 30 awards at the 2016 Tennessee Junior Classical League convention. Formed in 1955, the Tennessee Junior Classical League and its parent organization, the National Junior Classical League (NJCL), are non-profit fraternal organizations whose purpose is to promote appreciation and enthusiasm for studying Latin and the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. Several girls also distinguished themselves on the National Latin Exam, which they took in March, by earning eight awards.
