Welcome to the home of North Central High School Panther Latin! Here you will find all you need for Latin Club and Latin class.  You will also discover why, as our one of our past t-shirts proclaimed, we are truly cooler than a mullet!

Sicut enim maius est illuminare quam lucere solum, ita maius est contemplata aliis tradere quam solum contemplari.  (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae 2-2, ques. 188, art. 6)

"For just as it is greater to illuminate than mere to shine, so it is greater to share with other what one has contemplated than merely to contemplate."

Indagatio ipsa rerum cum maximarum tum etiam occultissimarum habet oblectationem.  Si vero aliquid occurrit, quod veri simile videatur, humanissima completur animus voluptate.  (Cicero, Academica II.XLI.127)

"The investigation itself of very important and at the same time quite obscure matters holds pleasure.  If indeed it happens that something like the truth is discovered, one's spirit is filled with a most human pleasure."

(Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 1104b)

[W]e ought to have been brought up in a particular way from our very youth, as Plato says, so as both to delight in and to be pained by the things that we ought; this is the right education. (David Ross, translator)

This year we start something new with the Codicilli Latini, or Latin Blogs.  Each level of Latin has its own blog where students will post in the language of the Caesars, so plug your quill pen into your laptop and start blogging!

Latina Prima Codicillus...where first year Latin students can begin exploring the foundational language of the western world

Latina Secunda Codicillus...where second year Latin students can expand their knowledge of a conquering language

Latina Tertia Codicillus...where third year Latin students can learn to speak with the eloquence of an orator

Latina AP Codicillus...where AP Latin students can take their place alongside the greatest authors in history
