Become a Bulldog!

Eighth grade students who are interested in applying to Judge Memorial Catholic High School are welcome to spend a day on campus by enrolling in our Bulldog Shadow Program. Judge's Shadow Program offers prospective Bulldogs a chance to experience what a typical student's day is like on campus. Prospective students will spend the day shadowing a current student who will take them to classes, share time with them during breaks and lunch (lunch is free!), and receive a tour of the campus. There's nothing like it!

How do I get involved in the shadow program?

Registration for the 2011-2012 Shadow Program begins on August 19, 2011, with our first shadow visit date set for September 16, 2011. A parent must register on behalf of their student, and a parent must also either accompany their student on the day of their shadow visit or arrange ahead of time to sign the proper shadow day registration release form. Reservations for shadowing are required and can be made by contacting contact Matt Finnigan, Director of Admissions and Marketing, or 801.517.2129.

Who is eligible to take advantage of a shadow day?

Eighth grade students who are interested in applying to Judge Memorial Catholic High School are welcome to spend a day on campus by enrolling in our Bulldog Shadow Program. The Shadow Program is also open to current high school students enrolled elsewhere, who will shadow a student sharing the same interests and grade level.

Is it possible to shadow with a specific student?

All of our Shadow Hosts are underclassmen as we feel that this gives the most accurate representation of an incoming student's school day. Not all of our underclassmen have signed up to participate in the Shadow Host program, so while you may request a specific student, this is not a guarantee. Each host is responsible for one guest at a time; if your requested host has already been paired with a visitor, we will find another host with similar interests. We like to match eighth grade students with a host who shares similar interests (class schedules, extracurriculars, etc.). We use gender as one of the criteria for matching to take make gym classes and between class breaks run more smoothly. If a guest has a sibling and wants to sit in on one of their classes, we would ask it be limited to only one class, and that the host and guest notify Mr. Matt Finnigan, the shadow host coordinator, the morning of your visit.

May I visit on a specific date?

Our first shadow visit date is September 16, 2011, with the program continuing through the spring. We encourage students to schedule shadow days on Monday, Tuesday, or Fridays, as shadows will have the opportunity to visit eight classes on those three days. Wednesdays and Thursdays at Judge are block days with four classes scheduled.

What should a shadow guest wear?

Judge has a dress code policy for its students and the same applies to those visiting our school. In order to have a complete Judge experience, shadow guests follow a modified version of our school dress code. Boys: Please wear a collared shirt, khaki pants or shorts, and closed-toe shoes. We ask that you not wear t-shirts, sweatpants, or blue jeans/shorts. Girls: Please wear a sleeved shirt, pants or a skort, and closed-toe shoes. We ask that you not wear t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, sweatpants, or blue jeans/shorts.

Should my child bring a lunch?

Judge Memorial is happy to provide all of our Shadow guests lunch in the Bulldog Café. Additional items may be purchased in the cafeteria if desired. If your student has special dietary restrictions, feel free to pack a bag lunch.

Will my child need to bring any additional materials?

Shadow guests are encouraged to bring a book in the event that their host has a test or quiz. If interested, notebook and writing instruments can be helpful. Otherwise, students are encouraged to bring their curiosity and questions.

Can I schedule a second visit?

Each year Judge hosts hundreds of students through our shadow program. In order to let every prospective Bulldog experience a day at Judge, we only allow one shadow visit per student. If you have additional questions, we encourage families to schedule a family visit or meet with Mr. Finnigan at mfinnigan@judgememorial.com or 801.517.2129.
