Class of 2027
School: Northside College Prep
Pronouns: She/Her
Salvete omnes! My name is Sarah, and I’m a junior at Northside College Prep! I’m so excited to be this year’s ILJCL 2vp! This is my third year in Latin. I am so excited for specifically spirit at Nats this year! I love making posters and teaching everyone the chants. My favorite service project I have organized in the past was a beach clean up I planned for Latin Honor Society at my school. I started the Classically Midwestern Podcast last term as parli! I’m so excited to continue that and get to know more state JCL boards! When I’m not doing Northside Latin things or working on my 2vp duties, you’ll probably find me listening to Taylor Swift or riding a roller coaster. Yes, I’m a Swiftie! So if you are also a Swiftie, I would love to talk about all things Taylor with you! I love meeting new people at Latin events and am so excited for all the memories we are going to make this year (especially at NJCL)!!!
Fun fact about me: Last summer, my family went on a roller coaster trip in Europe, and we rode 121 different roller coasters!
Likes: Traveling, baking cookies, record store shopping, Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, roller coasters (favorites currently are Ride to Happiness, The Voyage, and Voltron), sushi, math, latin, my JCL besties, and candle making!

Salvete omnes! I'm currently in AP Latin, and I'm a sophomore at Walter Payton. My favorite Roman author we've read so far is Sulpicia -- when I'm not doing Latin things and studying for the NJCL grammar test, I'm probably reading a book and listening to musicals or j-pop.
