The CHS JCL was founded when Cordova High School first opened in 1998. Since 2000 Mr. Nabors has sponsored the club, which is part of the TJCL Chapter.
We generally meet on the last Thursday of every month in our sponsor's room.
JCL Creed
We the members of the Junior Classical League,
covenant to hand on the torch of classical
civilization in the modern world.
We believe that an acquaintance with the civilization of Greece and Rome will help us understand and appraise the world of today, which is indebted to ancient civilization in its government and laws, literature, language and arts.
We affirm the JCL experience develops responsibility, fosters brotherhood, promotes enthusiasm, encourages competition, inspires dedication, and enriches our total growth
JCL Song
The Purple and Gold
Dave Clements, Max Spires, Mrs. R. G. Frazier
Revised by Mrs. B. H. Norveson
Seeking the best, the highest our goal Working for greatness through glories of old.
Searching the realms of the golden past, We follow the classics' truths that last
In knowledge, truth, and fellowship,
we're growing everyday The friendly hand of J. C. L. aids in every way.
In Rome's proud steps we're marching on, with every true colleague, And for ever we'll hold to the Purple and Gold, of the Junior Classical League.
