A Message from the
Principal
To our Judge Memorial and Saint Mary’s families, Our centennial year celebrations continue as we honor the past, provide for the present, and plan for the future. Congratulations to our students, faculty, staff, and parents as Judge Memorial Catholic High School was awarded the National Blue Ribbon Award from the United States Department of Education. This was the fourth time that Judge Memorial has received this prestigious award. At the ceremonies in Washington D.C., the Secretary of Education reiterated that the high standards for this award were achieved during one of the most challenging years on record. Over the last few years, we have continued to expand our course offerings across the academic spectrum. Our concurrent enrollment classes have expanded along with our Advanced Placement Capstone Program. We are leading the pack when it comes to innovation regarding blended online learning. We have also expanded our Learning Resource Center and early interventions for students that are in need of additional supports. Our academic focus continues to be a primary reason for incoming families to choose Judge Memorial Catholic High School. As we look to the future, we are actively exploring the possibilities of doing a full facility upgrade. Facilities have created unique opportunities and challenges throughout the years. We are exploring all possibilities in creating the most state of the art learning facility. Our leadership team is actively touring innovative learning spaces which will inspire our students for the next 100 years. We are currently in the middle of a feasibility study which will provide direction on how boldly we will move forward. On behalf of our students, we thank you for your support, your generosity, and your engagement. Our Judge Memorial and Saint Mary’s family is a global community. Our commitment to family is not confined to four years of high school but for a lifetime. We encourage you to volunteer at the school, attend our events, provide financial support, and offer prayers. Your support reinforces our faith in this beautiful mission. It is this connection, from your home to our classrooms, that we celebrate this great tradition. Many blessings to our Judge Memorial Catholic High School and Saint Mary’s friends and families. With gratitude,
Patrick Lambert ‘97 Principal Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam 4
