Judges need to be at El Camino Real Charter High School from 8-3, on Saturday 1/31/26. There is a break for lunch.
18 or older... no current students...arrive at El Camino Charter High School at 8am and will be finished by 3. There is a break where you can go get lunch or bring it with them.
Also, a mom who judges last year added these helpful insights:
It is easy: you get teamed up with veteran judges who give you the quick rundown on how to judge (there is a paper that outlines what you are looking for in each category)
You judge with 1-2 other judges in the same room.
The kids are adorable and it is fun to see them
Parents of 9th-11th graders get a real inside peek at how these things are judged so they can better help their kiddo for the next year.
Tip: Bring a lunch to eat (although there is time to go get something) and a big water bottle.
