Since 1921, Judge Memorial has provided an outstanding educational experience, firmly rooted in the Catholic tradition, to students and their families. Since the opening of the school, the teachers, students, parents and alumni of Judge Memorial have fostered and sustained a school of excellence.

The school building was originally Judge Mercy Home, a hospital established for the population of Catholic coal miners working in Park City who suffered from Black Lung. As the need for a hospital dedicated to this cause subsided, in direct relation to the decline of coal mining east of Salt Lake, Mary Judge (who along with her deceased husband, John, was the benefactor of the hospital) expressed her wishes to the bishop of the Diocese of Salt Lake to reopen the medical facility as a school. Mary Judge passed away before the diocese opened the new school's doors.

Until 1929 the school was known as Cathedral High School and Catholic Grammar School. Bishop John J. Mitty changed the name to Judge Memorial School in 1929. Judge Memorial was co-ed until 1961, when Bishop Joseph Lennox Federal brought in the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales to run it as an all-boys school. At this time, girls attended St. Mary of the Wasatch Academy. In 1970, St. Mary closed and girls once again joined the boys at Judge. That same year, the school added the word "Catholic" to its name.

Judge provides a quality secondary education within a Christian atmosphere. Respect for oneself, for one another, for the learning process, and for the physical environment should be the hallmarks of all who form the Judge family. Once a student is admitted to Judge, parents/guardians and the student enter a contractual agreement to abide by the policies outlined in the Judge Guide, including those contained in the Code of Conduct.

With the present-day guidance of Bishop John C. Wester and a committed administrative staff, the school continues to build upon the legacy of Catholic education started by Mary Judge and continued over the years by all members of the Judge community.
