Freshman, Jeremy Vacca, places 1st and 4th in competition at the Ohio Junior Classical League Fall Forum (OJCL).
This is a one day, mini-state convention, where schools from all over Ohio came together to study the classics. On Saturday,111 students from 11 schools had the opportunity to meet several college professors and compete with their peers from other schools. They competed in Certamen, Latin testing, a role playing game of the war between Athens and Sparta, Latin and English reading presentations, and creative art activities. The OCC had professors from Ohio University, Marshall University, Case Western Reserve, Denison University, American Classic League and Wyoming HS speaking on multiple topics. Anyone in the OCC and all teachers were welcomed at the OCC track. A lecturer from Ohio University spoke to all the students and teachers on the Pantheon and one professor from Marshall University led the role playing game. It was a great opportunity to reinforce classical studies, compete with other students, and meet professors from universities with classical study programs.We are blessed to have the national convention this summer held locally at Miami University.
Jeremy placed first in Certamen and fourth in the Latin Reading Intermediate (Level 2) competitions. We were extremely proud that he did so well at the statewide competition.
Congratulations Jeremy!
