FINDING THE RIGHT FIT
At Judge Memorial we are dedicated to “finding the right fit” for all of our students as they move from high school to college. There are so many factors that go into finding the right college — whether it’s a small liberal arts school, large state university, the Ivy League, service academies, or something in between.
Your Guides
Our two dedicated college counselors have years of experience in helping students navigate this process. They connect with students throughout all four years of high school. Through classroom visits, individual meetings, and additional programming, they develop positive relationships with students to help guide them through their college search, application and decision process.
