GLA MMXXII

Personal Assistants of Princeps

Salvete Omnes!
My name is Jacquelyn Wilkins and I am returning as director of the GLA for the sixth year. I am so excited to report that the staff for this year's (in person) academy has been assembled and has started planning an amazing experience. Behind the scenes, I have forms to update and this website to refurbish, which I will do with the help of my 5 assistants: Psyche, Eirene, Amber, Oberon, and Loki. They are very helpful. :)
As you begin to use this site, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email in the sidebar for help. Over the next few weeks and months before academy, the teachers and RA's will use this space to introduce themselves, share information about their classes and electives, and their insights about what you should expect and what you should bring. Along those lines, there are checklists and links in the right hand sidebar to help you prepare. I hope your school year ends well and I can't wait to start academy with your help!
Curate ut Valeatis,
Princeps

As a student of Jacquelyn Wilkins at E C Glass High School, I can tell you with certainty that she will make the MMXXII Virgina GLA better than any other Latin academy. I know that Magistra Wilkins, along with every other GLA staff member, will insure that all will have an exciting, memorable, and educative experience. Don't turn down the chance of a life-time of going to the Virginia GLA this year!

Salvete!

This blog will document the MMXXII session of the Virginia Governor's Latin Academy. After elections are held, the aediles will be responsible for its upkeep.
