A Message from the
Principal
To our Judge Memorial and Saint Mary’s families, This has been a banner year at Judge Memorial Catholic High School. While continuing to adapt instruction and provide a safe environment for our students, we were awarded the National Blue Ribbon Award from the Department of Education for excellence in education. We were also able to break into the top 1% of high schools nationwide through The Challenge Index by Jay Mathews of the Washington Post. This placed us in the top 40 of all private high schools in the country. It is an absolute pleasure to be surrounded by such dedicated instructors and hardworking students. We look forward to welcoming the largest freshmen class in over a decade to Judge Memorial this fall. There were many highlights in this year’s graduating class. Our graduates will be spreading out across the country as they enter the next steps in their academic journey. Four of our students will be attending U.S. Military Academies this fall. One will be attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, one will be attending the U.S. Air Force Academy, and two of our students will be attending the U.S. Naval Academy. We are proud to welcome the graduating class of 2022 into our alumni ranks. Some highlights of the class include: y
73% graduated with honors

The graduates have been accepted to 154 different colleges and universities
