Conner High School students compete in KY Junior Classical League's Latin Convention 

Over the weekend, several Latin students from Conner High School attended the Kentucky Junior Classical League's Latin Convention.  Around 300 students from all over the state attended.  Students participated in a host of competitions and contests, both academic and artistic, attended seminars on ancient culture, and made many new friends.  
 
Although an eighth academic test was added this year, they had at least one student score in the top ten in all academic tests two years in a row.   The students also continued to place in the top three for the creative and artistic contests!
