What Judge Memorial Catholic High School does

Judge Memorial Catholic High School is a private, non-profit Catholic secondary school founded in 1921 and headquartered at 650 South 1100 East in Salt Lake City, Utah. The school delivers a four-year college preparatory program to high school students and their families, operating under the Cura Personalis (care for the whole person) charism that integrates intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual development. Its core academic product is an award-winning liberal arts curriculum augmented by 24 Advanced Placement courses, a STEM Innovation program, and an explicit emphasis on artificial intelligence proficiency; student outcomes include a 94% post-secondary continuation rate and $27.2 million in college scholarships and grants awarded to the Class of 2026 across 227 colleges and universities in 41 states.

The school's product portfolio extends beyond academics to encompass an athletics program with 86 state and 121 regional championships, 26 registered student clubs, a Christian Community Service program generating 27,700 annual hours, and 7 yearly student retreats including Kairos. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party EdTech — Canvas LMS (Instructure) for course delivery and Skyward as the Student Information System — with SchoolAdmin Online powering rolling admissions for the 2026-2027 school year. The faculty composition is a core asset: an 11:1 student-to-faculty ratio, 76% of faculty holding advanced degrees, and 10 faculty with PhDs, supporting an average class size of 19.

The revenue model is tuition-based, billed annually, with 66% of students receiving need-based Tuition Assistance, indicating a tiered pricing structure supplemented by fundraising and endowment support. Go-to-market is community-led: prospective families engage through campus tours, group shadow days, four regional bus lines (including Park City service), social channels under the @judgepride brand, and a historical archive project ('Year by Year at Judge') showcasing the school's century-long legacy. The school operates as a 51–100 employee, single-campus institution serving a regional Salt Lake City catchment, with no disclosed parent company, ownership change, or external funding rounds.
