Judge Memorial Catholic High School is located in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The school was originally established as a hospital in 1902. Called Judge Mercy Hospital, the facility primarily provided care to miners during a period of mining growth along the Wasatch Mountains.

However, around 1920, the need for the care of miners had diminished. At the same time, Utah’s Catholic population had increased to the point that private Catholic schooling became feasible. Judge Mercy Hospital was remodeled, and established as a school in 1921.

The original campus served as both a high school and elementary school, known as Cathedral High School and Catholic Grammar School respectively. The name “Judge Memorial School” was adopted in 1929. In 1949, the high school separated from the elementary school.

The school has been a co-ed facility for most of its life, except for a period from 1961 through 1970. During this time the school was run as an all-boys school, while girls attended St. Mary of the Wasatch Academy.

The school is now under renovation. First the field is being excavated and being covered in turf. The field is expected to be done for the Homecoming football game against Union on September 29, 2006.
