“ Fortune Favors the Bold” There is an ancient idea translated into perfect Latin by the Roman poet and thinker Virgil in the Aeneid, audentes fortuna iuvat, or “fortune favors the bold.” Virgil’s lesson, however, is to be bold but not reckless, to pursue your goals with good and measured purpose.
WEBB | The Impact Report |
One can find this wisdom furrowed deep in the life and mind of Webb’s founding father, Thompson Webb. He was a bold school maker, but his boldness was also steady, essential to propelling this great school for more than a century. Thompson’s example continues to inspire generations of students, educators, and school leaders. What we know for sure is that Webb’s second century will be one filled with new challenges and new opportunities. What we know for sure is that the sentinel questions we will be called to answer will be both age-old and startlingly new. What does personalized learning look like when curiosity and discovery guide the curriculum? How can interdisciplinary study, emerging technologies, and a more open curriculum best support individual pursuits without sacrificing shared knowledge? How can schools design learning that connects directly to the world, through student-centered projects, partnerships, and community engagement? Should internships and mentorships that connect the relevance of academic skills to the many professions play a larger role in our education? How can schools prepare students not to just use AI and other emerging technology, but to question, shape, and design it for the common good? How should schools teach students to use and develop human-centered technology tools to benefit humanity? These are indeed exciting, thrilling, and on occasion, breathless times to be an educator, a student, or a family working to guide and inspire young people toward a better future. We are in this work together. We are grateful to count you as vital partners.

A Year in the Life of the AI Project@Webb
Innovation at Webb is embedded in our history and alive in our culture. Nowhere is this more evident than in the AI Project@Webb, an exciting initiative positioning the school as a national leader in the creative and age-defining possibilities of human-centered AI and other emerging technologies.
WEBB | The Impact Report |
The AI Project@Webb encompasses a wide range of programs and projects—designing and building a secure, school-based AI platform; developing new courses in technology and innovation; establishing ethical use AI guidelines for educators and students; and integrating responsible AI practice across disciplines and programs, from golf to the humanities. Together, these initiatives provide a platform for Webb students and faculty to explore and discover technologies that emphasize curiosity, integrity, and community.
Developing WebbGPT
A cornerstone achievement of the past year was the further growth and development of WebbGPT, a self-contained AI system that provides students, faculty, and staff with secure access to the latest generative AI tools. WebbGPT operates entirely within Webb’s systems, ensuring that data and queries remain private while allowing users to engage safely with the most advanced models. Following a comprehensive technology audit in fall 2024, Webb began to strengthen its infrastructure to support the responsible use of AI across campus. The updated version of WebbGPT now includes image generation and an agent builder feature, enabling users to design and customize AI assistants tailored to their academic, athletic, or program needs.
is using the platform to plan practices specific to individuals, surfacing drills in a very targeted way, and helping him to simplify language around the golf swing. “The golf swing is complicated and hard to talk about because, as golf coaches are fond of saying, ‘feel ain’t real,’” said Hebert. “What a player feels they are doing with their body does not necessarily correspond to what they are actually doing. WebbGPT has helped me to deepen my library of ‘feels’ (i.e., ways I can describe what a particular move might feel like for a particular player) and for taking very complicated biomechanics and demystifying its jargon. Who wants to talk about the ulnar deviation of the wrist?!?!!?! Instead, I can say, ‘Imagine you’re hitting a nail with a hammer.’”
Teaching Technology and Ethics In the classroom, Webb continues to explore the intersection of technology, ethics, and the humanities. A Technology & Innovation course invites students to experiment with design thinking, 3D modeling, and computational tools.
Webb’s Tech & Innovation seminar is cotaught by Mark Dzula, Ph.D. and Luke Raus ’20. “The aim of the course is to inspire and support burgeoning innovators as they ask generative questions and collaborate in a lab environment. Our projects and prompts
“The WebbGPT platform provides an AI solution inside the safety of our Webb systems,” said Assistant Head of School Michael Hoe ’04. “We encourage our teachers to experiment with cuttingedge technologies to demonstrate their appropriate use and to model responsible innovation for our students.”

“ Investing in the AI Project@Webb enables us to explore the myriad ways these new tools are transforming the world, and how to best support faculty innovation and student learning. This doesn’t mean AI and screens all the time. As a boarding school, we will forever be committed to nurturing human connection, building community, and cultivating strong critical thinking and problemsolving skills in our students.” HEAD OF SCHOOL THERESA SMITH, PH.D.

get them to exercise computational and critical thinking in a student-centered project-based course,” Dzula said. “We also interface with Professor Zach Dodds to make sure our innovators are prepared for our course with Harvey Mudd College, as well as potentially larger, more independent projects in Tech & Innovation Seminar II.”
Webb is developing a new interdisciplinary elective, Ethics and Technology, designed to help students examine the cultural, moral, and societal implications of AI.
During one unit, students enrolled in the course joined the robotics team on a visit to JPL laboratories and developed independent projects around major tools in the Innovation Wing: the 3D printers, the laser cutter/engraver, the robotic arm, and the VR headsets. “While AI wasn’t the sole focus of the unit, we worked with innovators to strategize ethical use of the tool to extend their thinking and to dive deeper with the tools. Notable progress included students programming the robotic arm to stack Jenga blocks, including exploration of the utility of fiducial markers (like QR codes),” Dzula said. In another unit, students will build 3D scanning devices. They will study the relationship between analog and digital data streams, using AI as a way to deepen their understanding of how the sensors work and what their output means. “I am increasingly seeing innovators use AI as a tool on the side to extend their thinking, interrogate obstacles, and develop their understanding. In this way, I am seeing them exercise computational thinking while they also critically evaluate the results that AI delivers,” Dzula said. “Personally, I like this application of AI on
the side, that it amplifies questions as students grapple with challenging, significant problems. I see the tool opening doorways and pathways to new understanding, giving the students a sense of efficacy as they build their identities as innovators.”
Advanced Studies Literature & the Machine
Meanwhile, the Advanced Studies Literature & the Machine course, also taught by Hebert, challenges students to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping authorship, creativity, and the human experience. The course explores generative AI’s potential impact on art, literature, and human creativity, allowing students to place contemporary debates in a context that goes all the way back to Prometheus and Plato. Students engage in vibrant class discussions about key works of science fiction—from classic 20th century writers like Isaac Asimov to contemporary comic books—that speculate about the promises and pitfalls of AI. Students will also take a hands-on, experimental approach to these emerging technologies, working in collaboration with AI applications to test the limits of AI’s ability to augment human expression. “This year, as I rework the course for its second voyage, I’m using generative AI to redesign the whole thing as a massive roleplaying game. Think: Dungeons and Dragons. Students create alter egos and go on a series of quests together that force them to think through the material for the course. The game was co-developed by me and my good friend Claude (aka WebbGPT). I’m also using Codex, OpenAI’s coding GPT, to develop a Webb portal for this where students can create their character sheets and keep track of what quests they’ve completed. This is all very much a work in progress,” said Hebert. “With respect to what students do in the class, we talk quite a bit about the ethical use of AI. Their final project last semester was to use generative AI to interrogate

Partnership and Purpose
generative AI. One student, for example, made a computer game that challenged players to identify writing done by famous authors (e.g., Ernest Hemingway and Virginia Woolf) versus AI impersonations of those writers,” Hebert said. “He then did an informal test with the class and with a group of teachers. (I’m proud to say that Humanities teachers outperformed students on this test!) I had another student do a breakdown of AI-generated art, specifically looking at the anatomy of different creatures. For example, as a sketch artist, she drew a wolf, starting with the skeleton and then fleshing it out. Then, she had different image generators do the same task. Lastly, she did an analysis of the accuracy of those image generators and the implications of their failures (because they weren’t very good at this, as it turned out).” Building on these foundations, Webb is also developing a new interdisciplinary elective, Ethics and Technology, designed to help students examine the cultural, moral, and societal implications of AI. This work is supported by the creation of formal AI and Ethics Guidelines for the Webb community—establishing a shared framework for transparency, academic integrity, and thoughtful engagement with new technologies. “Our goal is to balance innovation with Webb’s core values—critical thinking, creativity, and community,” said Head of School Theresa Smith. “AI tools are all around us, and we want students to safely explore and innovate with them while learning to discern their appropriate and ethical use.”
The AI Project@Webb also reflects the school’s belief that meaningful innovation happens through collaboration. This year, Webb formalized a new partnership with the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society (CAIS), whose mission is to use AI for social good, which aligns closely with Webb’s own. In May, CAIS Co-Director Professor Phebe Vayanos visited the Webb campus to share her groundbreaking research on applying AI to address social challenges, offering students and faculty a model for how technology can serve humanity responsibly. “Professor Vayanos and other USC professors are using AI to improve the Los Angeles community, which is a powerful reminder to us all that AI tools aren’t just the domain of tech businesses but tools that scientists, scholars and civic leaders can utilize to address the big global challenges of our time. Just like our work with Professor Zach Dodds P ’17, ’19 at Harvey Mudd College, these partnerships enable Webb students to collaborate with leaders in the field,” said Head of School Theresa Smith, Ph.D.
Looking Ahead
The AI Project@Webb continues to grow. A new WebbGPT Agent Design Challenge now invites students, faculty, and staff to develop their own agents and share findings on optimal use, customization, and ethical safeguards. Through these initiatives, and upgraded tech infrastructure, Webb students are not only learning how to use AI but how to lead with it. In every aspect of this work, Webb remains guided by its mission: to prepare students to think deeply, act with honor, lead with distinction, and serve with a generous spirit. The AI Project@Webb exemplifies this vision, ensuring that Webb graduates step confidently into the future, equipped not only with technological fluency, but with the wisdom to use it well.
A Set of Guiding Principles for AI at Webb AI is an important technological tool to be explored, not banned. Utilizing the latest tools for researching, learning, thinking and creating— including AI—is essential as part of a Webb education. Transparency of AI use is critical for all users, including adults and students. The ethical use and development of AI is a relevant and vital topic for an honor-based community. AI has the possibility to streamline school operations, but it should never be used as a substitute for humancentered communications or relationships. Private student or employee data may not be entered into AI programs that are not official Webb systems.

The Selective College Admission Journey Evolves
A Conversation with Dean of College Guidance Hector Martinez
WEBB | The Impact Report |
For nearly three decades, Hector Martinez has been a force behind one of Webb’s most defining programs—guiding students along their path to college and beyond. Now in his 29th year at Webb and approaching his 40th year in college admission work, Martinez has had his hand in shaping the futures of thousands of students. As one alum recently calculated for him, of Webb’s roughly 5,000 living alumni, half of the school’s graduates have crossed the threshold of his office on their journey to college. “The first thing I thought was, I’m old! Then, I thought, she graduated from MIT, so the math is probably right,” Martinez said. The college guidance program at Webb is built not on numbers but on relationships. Each conversation, application essay, and letter of recommendation marks a milestone in a student’s life. “This office is about taking student aspirations, maybe long-held dreams, and making them real,” Martinez said. “These kids work incredibly hard. They create these remarkable lives for themselves through their Webb experience. They have ambitious hopes for their future, and we get to be part of their success.” It’s no surprise to anyone in our community that Webb’s college guidance program stands out for its deeply personal, student-centered approach. While the world of college admissions grows more data-driven and competitive, Martinez and his team remain committed to what he calls the “high-touch, person-to-person” side of the process. “We get to see the moment it happens for students,” he said. “It’s the best feeling.” That sense of purpose and commitment to excellence resonates across Webb’s broader mission. Webb’s innovative and rigorous academic and residential experiences are designed to prepare students to lead in a rapidly changing world. With more than 130 courses, including 46 Advanced Studies offerings, leadership development, arts programs,

athletics, and research opportunities, Webb’s full program empowers students to discover who they are. It prepares them for where they’re headed next. Martinez believes it’s crucial to impress on Webb students that this moment—the college decision—is one of life’s defining experiences. “I think there are only about five or six major things that happen to you in your life,” he tells them. “This is one of the first. Be serious and choose wisely, because it can have an incredible impact on what comes next.” Here are excerpts from a short conversation we had about Webb’s college guidance program, and the tightly honed process that has led to decades of selective college admission success for Webb graduates. Q: Can you describe the program and mix of one-on-one advising, workshops, retreats, and college fairs? Martinez: The process really begins the moment a student steps on campus. It’s embedded in Webb’s DNA. With freshmen and sophomores, we hold “class talks” twice a year, helping them see what’s ahead and how to make the most of their Webb experience. For juniors, we start regular one-on-one meetings in January to shape their college lists, support college visits, and help them prepare for testing and the application process to come. Seniors, of course, are deep in it, finalizing lists, writing essays, and deciding on early or regular options. Along the way, there are class meetings, field trips, retreats, workshops, college fairs, and guest speakers. More than 100 colleges visit Webb each year, more visitors than we have seniors, and we host a major case studies program every spring with about 50 leading institutions. We also sponsor college tours across California and the East Coast. The idea is to surround our students with touchpoints, relationships, and real information so that by senior year, they are confident, well-prepared, and focused on fit and match.
“ At Webb, we believe in the value of knowing our students well and advocating for them. This is what makes the work so special. We get to help students on to their next adventure. After nearly three decades, I can say, that never gets old.” DEAN OF COLLEGE GUIDANCE HECTOR MARTINEZ

Q: Are Webb students well prepared for college success? How do you know?
Martinez, Flores, Abrams-Fuller
Q: How is the Office of College Guidance staffed? Martinez: We have three full-time professionals in our office. Two of us, Associate Dean Remy Abrams Fuller and I, work directly with juniors and seniors and lead the one-on-one counseling program. Adriana Flores, our senior college guidance associate, manages the office. She’s the first person families and college reps meet, the one who makes sure every transcript, recommendation, and application is processed and sent on time. She also helps with financial aid questions, college visits, and our busy event calendar. Between the three of us, we get to know every student well. We’re constantly in touch with colleges and stay current through professional development, so we’re bringing the best information and advice possible to our students and families. Q: How does Webb’s academic and boarding program benefit students? Martinez: Webb is an intense place, in the best possible way. Students here live and learn in a 24/7 community, surrounded by peers and teachers who care deeply about them. This intensity builds confidence, maturity, and a strong sense of self. Boarding school students learn how to manage their time, advocate for themselves, and live with others. Those are huge advantages when they get to college. Many of them later tell me it was hard to find another place in college and beyond
Martinez: Absolutely. Colleges tell us all the time how well Webb students do once they’re on campus. Admissions offices track student performance, and our record is consistently strong. They know our students come from a rigorous academic environment, with a culture that values learning, independence, and integrity. And we hear it from our alumni. They come back and say, “Mr. Martinez, that was the best thing that ever happened to me,” or, sometimes, “I didn’t realize how special Webb was until I left.” The boarding experience, the small classes, the connection to teachers, these things make an enormous difference. There’s nothing more confident than a boarding school graduate at college. Q: What role do faculty play in the admission process? Martinez: Our teachers are vital. First, they are the lifeblood of the Webb experience. They make it happen and make it so special. Also, colleges often tell me that Webb recommendation letters stand out. They’re thoughtful, personal, and beautifully written. In an era when test scores are sometimes optional, a teacher’s insight can be one of the most powerful parts of an application. Our faculty take that responsibility seriously. They know our students well, they care deeply, and they take the time to write about them with real detail. This helps colleges see the human being behind the transcript. It’s one of the reasons Webb’s reputation in selective college admissions is so strong. Q: What trends in college admissions are you witnessing? Martinez: So much has changed since COVID. The process is faster, more digital, more complex. But we’ve got a handle
WEBB | The Impact Report |
on things. We have a program, process, and timeline that works. Unfortunately, because of the immense pressure they feel, families might try and start the college process too early, even in middle school, and I always tell them that doesn’t help. It only adds stress. What matters is doing it right and at the right time. Of course, we also remind families that college preparation and admission is only one part of the Webb experience. If you spend your whole time here just thinking about where you’re going next, you’ll miss out on the extraordinary education and community right in front of you. Q: What is the role of emerging technology, AI, and the like, in the admission process? Martinez: Wow. Good question. Technology is changing everything, from how students apply to how colleges review applications. Some universities are already experimenting with AI to help manage the massive volume of applications they receive. That could mean initial sorting or pre-reading done by algorithms before human eyes see the files. For example, some universities receive more than 100,000 applications and only have an admission staff of 60 professionals or less—making reading all these applications impossible. So, AI technology may be useful in this situation. For Webb students, that might be a double-edged sword. Our students are strong, so that they might rise quickly in those systems, but there’s always the worry that a special story or unique talent gets lost in the data. That’s why relationships and advocacy still matter so much. On our end, we use technology every day. It allows us to work efficiently and stay connected, but nothing replaces knowing our students personally. I can manage applications from my phone, but I still need to know each student’s
COLLEG E G UIDANCE
hopes and aspirations. College admissions professionals feel the same way. They still want to admit real people, not just strong profiles on a screen. Q: What is unlikely to change about the selective college admission process? Martinez: The human part. As advanced as emerging technology becomes, colleges are still admitting people, students who will live, learn, and contribute to their communities. This will never change. At Webb, we believe in the value of knowing our students well and advocating for them. This is what makes the work so special. We get to help students onto their next adventure. After nearly three decades, I can say, that never gets old.

A New Era for Webb Athletics Completion of Phase 1 Les Perry Gymnasium Renewal Project
WEBB | The Impact Report |
Webb marked a significant turning point this year with the completion of Phase 1 of the Les Perry Gym renovation. Through the generosity of alumni, families, and friends, this transformative campus project signals the school’s commitment to excellence in athletics, supporting community health and wellness, and celebrating Les Perry, Webb’s renowned athletics director and beloved coach from 1946 to 1976. Today, the Perry Gym is home to Webb’s 40 teams in 15 different sports. It plays a central role on campus as a health, fitness, and recreation space for our boarding program and a place for all-school community programming. With these Phase 1 improvements finished, Webb students-athletes now enjoy facilities that match their commitment to sports and fitness. Phase 1 boasts a menu of real game-changers: a new gymnasium floor precisely engineered and striped for basketball, volleyball, and badminton; a new state-of-the-art digital scoreboard system; new and more energy-efficient lighting; and fresh interior finishes. “The digital scoreboard is super cool and makes our games feel more intense, like we’re at a professional sporting event. Overall, the whole place just feels more alive and makes people want to be there,” said Chijioke Mgbeke ’27. Phase 1 also provides improved accessibility for all guests, a new main entrance and lobby, and a suite of expanded, air-conditioned restrooms. Along with comprehensive fire-safety upgrades, accessible parking, and
new code-compliant entrances, these upgrades make the building safer, more accessible, and better positioned for future expansion. Perhaps the biggest impact on the Webb community is the installation of a new bleachers system allowing the entire student body and faculty to gather for school programs and events as well as larger crowds at sporting events to cheer on our Gauls!

Roll-up garage doors will connect the renovated interior to a new outdoor workout area, expanding the usable space and giving students and coaches greater flexibility for training and wellness activities. An integrated audiovisual system will further enhance instruction and support a wide range of
fitness and wellness initiatives. A new Sports Medicine Center will significantly expand Webb’s training and recovery resources and relocate them to a more advantageous location. The facility will include multiple trainer tables for injury prevention and treatment, as well as hydrotherapy tubs to support muscle recovery. Additional offices incorporated into the fitness center will provide dedicated space for coaches and athletics staff—allowing for more consistent supervision and, ultimately, extended hours of access for students. With further philanthropic support, Phase 2 will also make possible full air conditioning for the gymnasium and fitness areas, as well as the conversion of Webb’s outdoor courts into two competitiongrade sport courts, enhancing year-round athletic opportunities. The Les Perry Gym Renewal Project stands as a powerful symbol of Webb’s enduring dedication to its mission—investing in student wellness, leadership, and excellence as we look to the century ahead.

One Webb, Worldwide On March 19, screens lit up from Los Angeles to Beijing, Melbourne to London, as alumni, parents, and friends united for our eighth annual Webb Giving Day. Messages flew, WeChat buzzed, and our global community rallied across continents in a shared celebration of spirit and generosity, all in support of Webb.
Our Home The Webb Community means so much to me—it is my work, but it is also my home, where my husband and I choose to raise our family. What a privilege it is to raise our daughters in a community that values honor, trust, and unbounded thinking. We are forever grateful!
For over 24 hours, alongside our traditional Webb Day/Night activities, the global Webb community showed up in a big way. On campus, students engaged in spirited competitions and class challenges, while online, that same energy came alive as messages, photos, and gifts poured in from around the world, reminding us why this place means so much to so many. The result? A memorable day with $309,893 raised from 430 donors across four continents, reflecting the enduring strength of our worldwide community, and a whole lot of Webb pride. The energy soared as challenge matches unlocked throughout the day, igniting spirited yet friendly class competition and inspiring donors to jump in and push us over the finish line. Every gift sparked momentum. Every note sparked joy. Every voice made a difference. From the class of 1950 to the Class of 2023, a total of 61 alumni classes participated in the challenge, demonstrating true Webbie spirit!
– Webb Giving Day Donors
The cumulative energy from Giving Day fuels The Webb Fund, the flexible source
of support that strengthens every corner of campus life, from classrooms and athletic fields to financial aid and student programs. Donors also contributed $10,227 for scholarships, expanding access for future Webbies, and $58,750 for the Raymond M. Alf Museum, ensuring discovery and research continue to thrive. These gifts sustain the margin of excellence that keeps Webb at the forefront of innovation and opportunity. It is the difference between the ability to say “Yes!” to a new idea instead of “Let’s see if we can afford it next year,” and it allows us to take care of the surprises that arise each year on a 103-year-old campus. Giving Day isn’t just a day. It’s a movement. It’s Webb’s spirit in action. Across time zones and generations, our community once again proved that when we come together, we achieve great things! Thank you for making Giving Day 2025 unforgettable and unstoppable. Mark your calendars now for Giving Day 2026 on March 12!

The Les and Barbara Perry Awards For over 100 years, The Webb Schools have remained steadfast to the standards of distinguished academic and athletic achievement complemented by a dedication to principles of unwavering ethical behavior and personal responsibility. These are the ideals upon which the school was founded—ideals which have been embodied by Les and Barbara Perry. From 1946 to 1976, Les and Barbara Perry dedicated their lives to Webb students. Among his many roles at Webb, Les served as athletic director, head football coach, head basketball coach, head baseball coach, advisor to the Block W Club, math teacher and assistant headmaster under both Steve Longley and Fred Hooper. Barbara was a committed dorm parent, providing the boys with much needed support. Each year, department heads are encouraged to nominate faculty members who are deserving of a Perry Award. These awards, established in 1995 by generous donors, honor the Perrys and serve as a tangible reward for a job well done.
Will Allan
The four Cs (Color, Clarity, Carat, and Cut) are traditionally used to evaluate the quality of a diamond. For this Perry recipient, we can redefine these four Cs to celebrate an exceptional member of our community to: Calm, Cool, Collected, and Committed. These qualities perfectly encapsulate Mr. Will Allan’s remarkable twenty-five-year tenure at Webb. Like a masterfully cut diamond that reveals its brilliance through multiple facets, Mr.Allan has demonstrated his versatility and dedication through numerous roles within our community. As a teacher, he is patient, approachable, and committed to supporting his students. As a coach, he has fostered both athletic excellence and character development throughout various sports and seasons. In
his roles as dorm head and lead dorm head, he has created a nurturing residential environment where students truly feel at home. As an advisor, he has guided countless students through their academic journeys, offering both support and challenge when needed. And of course, his institutional knowledge has been crucial to his service on various (and numerous) committees, helping to guide conversations around Webb’s continued evolution insightfully and thoughtfully. Similar to the strength and stability of diamonds, Mr. Allan’s strength lies in his unwavering consistency and reliability. He approaches each day with the same steady demeanor and commitment to excellence that has characterized his entire career at Webb. Whether in the classroom, on the playing field, or in the dormitory, his presence has been a cornerstone of our community.
Nika Haleftiras
From transforming campus courtyards into living laboratories to guiding students through local watershed studies (or cemeteries) to taking 60 students on a boat to whale watch, Ms. Nika Haleftiras’s impact in the classroom at Webb has been transformative. Her innovative approach to science education has elevated our curriculum, particularly through her recent redesign of the AP Environmental Science into our new Advanced Studies Environmental Solutions course. By
WEBB | The Impact Report |
incorporating hands-on learning experiences and realworld applications, she has created a more engaging and mission-aligned course that inspires students to think critically about environmental challenges and their role as responsible citizens of the Earth. Beyond academics, Ms. Haleftiras has served as a supportive, approachable, and intentional advisor for our ninth-grade students helping to guide them through their first year at Webb. Additionally, her contributions to our varsity basketball program are significant – through cultivating a team culture centered and rooted in growth, teamwork, and character development yielding success in addition to developing well- rounded student-athletes. And yet, perhaps most notably, Ms. Haleftiras has quickly become legendary for her role as the Alamo dorm head. Her dorm meetings have evolved into a beloved weekly tradition, creating informal mentoring opportunities and strengthening campus connections through her mutual love of food with her residents. These gatherings exemplify her ability to foster meaningful relationships and create inclusive spaces. Ms. Haleftiras has shown remarkable leadership as a residential faculty member, as she has cultivated an incredible dorm environment that her Alamo residents truly describe as their “home away from home.” Ms. Haleftiras embodies the values of educational excellence, mentorship, and community engagement that define our institution. Her contributions have enriched our campus immeasurably.
Leah Moore
Leah Moore joined our century-old community last year; few could have predicted how profoundly she would reshape it in such a short amount of time. From the classroom to the basketball court, from student living spaces to vital affinity group work, her impact has been both immediate and transformative. In just over one short year, Ms. Moore has made a significant impact in pretty much every single aspect of Webb that she’s involved in. In the classroom, Ms. Moore fosters a culture of deep intellectual curiosity and critical thinking. In particular, Ms. Moore has a keen ability to guide complex and thoughtful class discussions while creating an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed and explored and celebrated. Additionally, beyond her teaching excellence, Ms. Moore is a dedicated basketball and track coach, a committed and supportive advisor, and creates a homelike residential environment for our students as a residential faculty member.
PER RY AWAR DS
What is even more impressive, however, is that this is just all the visible work that Ms. Moore does on a dayto-day basis. Yet, some of the most impactful work that Ms. Moore does is with our black affinity group at Webb to cultivate a space and community centered around ensuring that our students feel safe, seen, and heard. Much of this work, by nature of affinity work, is not quite as public and/or visible, but we hope that this is a moment where we can acknowledge and celebrate the incredibly intentional work that Ms. Moore has done to support our community in just over one year here at Webb. Much of the same way that Les and Barbara Perry centered students in their daily work at Webb, Ms. Moore does the same.
Eric Vos
In a campus community as intricate and diverse as Webb, there are countless unsung heroes who make tremendous impacts in less visible ways. These individuals form the backbone of our institution, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that they are supporting the health and wellbeing of our community. Among these remarkable individuals, one name stands out: Eric Vos. Throughout his tenure at Webb, Mr. Eric Vos has exemplified the qualities of Les and Barbara Perry. As a school counselor, he has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to student well-being, serving as a dependable, caring, and empathetic presence in the lives of countless students. His one-on-one work with students is nothing short of transformative, providing crucial support and guidance during their academic journeys and personal growth. Additionally, Mr. Vos’s contributions extend far beyond his role as a counselor. As the faculty advisor to our Peer Advisor program, he empowers students to support one another, fostering a culture of mutual aid and understanding. His leadership as our varsity tennis coach instills valuable life lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. Furthermore, his role teaching freshman seminar creates a space for our 9th grade students to explore relevant topics that are directly related to their growth and development as healthy adolescents. What truly sets Mr. Vos apart is his humble nature. He is not one to seek recognition or praise for his efforts, preferring instead to focus on the impact of his work. This selflessness only amplifies the profound influence he has on our community, making him such a well-deserving recipient of this year’s Perry Award.

Cory Warren
Stephen Hebert
Dr. Elizabeth Cantwell
In just two years at Webb, Cory Warren has made a remarkable impact on the community. As a humanities teacher, advisor, LGBTQ+ affinity group advisor and advocate, Breakfast magazine advisor, and coach, Mr. Warren consistently puts students at the center of his work. He is grounded, genuine, and deeply authentic in both his actions and the way he lives his values. In the classroom, Warren brings a wealth of knowledge about literature and a passion for teaching writing and close textual analysis. But beyond content, he brings joy and a deep understanding of what makes learning meaningful. He’s committed to his own growth, recently becoming a certified naturalist through the state of California—a testament to his curiosity and drive to keep learning. Warren’s presence fosters a true sense of belonging. “He embodies radical empathy.” He creates inclusive, thoughtful spaces where students and colleagues alike feel seen and supported. He is an advisor to the Honor Council for 2025-2026. The Laurence McMillin Excellence in Teaching Award was established and endowed by David Loo ’79.
JAMES T. DEMETRIADES ’80 ENDOWED PRIZE FOR UNBOUNDED THINKING Stephen Hebert, Humanities Stephen Hebert, co-leader of the Humanities Department, the Boys’ League Golf Coach of the Year, a rockstar organizer and a senior advisor, is always looking to support and elevate those around him. He’s dedicated to innovative pedagogy and eager to make space for all educators to reflect and grow. His creativity, eye for living a great life and genuine care make a meaningful impact on his students and colleagues alike. His exceptional attention to detail is always evident. One student shared that
his class is a space where you learn about history, laugh and learn about life. His golfers speak to how purposeful every practice feels, with sessions designed to build both skill and confidence and he is always a partner with athletes to troubleshoot challenges intentionally. His teams, classes, department, advisory—even his Monday night labs in the library!—are all spaces grounded in respect and shaped by his authentic interest in each person’s voice. Hebert is passionate, supportive, committed to growth and learning. The James T. Demetriades ’80 Endowed Prize in Unbounded Thinking was established and endowed by James T. Demetriades ’80.
JEAN E. MILLER EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD Dr. Elizabeth Cantwell, Humanities Elizabeth Cantwell is a deeply valued member of the Webb community and a dedicated leader of the Humanities Department. She is an exceptional educator and an advocate for curiosity, creativity, and student voice; creating spaces where all feel seen and empowered. Over the past ten years, Cantwell has made challenging ideas and texts accessible, relevant, and fun—especially when they’re weird. Her signature class, Gothic Literature, is one of the most talked-about courses on campus, pushing students to explore horror through a thoughtful academic lens. Her students say they want to do the homework in her class because she helps them understand why it matters. Beyond the classroom, she has led the debate team, contributed to the literary magazine, and been a consistent presence in the dorms, where students appreciate her approachability and genuine interest in their lives. Her intelligence, evident in all that she does, is carried with humility and care. She inspires students to rise to her high expectations with respect and admiration. The Jean E. Miller Excellence in Teaching Award was established and endowed by The Affiliates.
WEBB | The Impact Report |
THOMPSON AND VIVIAN WEBB AWARD Dr. Mairin Balisi, Science/Alf Museum Mairin Balisi is an extraordinary educator whose passion and intellect are felt across the Webb community. In the classroom, in the field, or in conversation with a curious student, she brings her distinct blend of scholarly rigor and genuine warmth. Rather than providing easy answers, Balisi invites students to draw on their own knowledge and curiosity, helping them arrive at complex understandings with confidence. In Advanced Studies Paleontology Research and in the afternoon research program, Balisi’s brings paleontology to life. “Snackumentary Fridays,” fully outfitted with her freshly baked lemon bars or carrot cake frosted to resemble fluorescent moss, is a seemingly small gesture that speaks volumes about how much she values student engagement. Flexible and deeply dedicated, Balisi creates a learning environment where students are inspired. As one of her students said, “She’s just a great person to be around.” She is a role model, a mentor, and a source of inspiration for the entire community. The Thompson and Vivian Webb Award was endowed by Edmund L. Piper ’43.
JOHN AND MADELINE FRAMPTON STAFF CELEBRATION AWARD Annalise Reynosa, Science Department Even if she isn’t quite as visible as the rest of the department, Annalise Reynosa’s work impacts every single student at Webb each and every year. As the lab technician, she is the backbone of the science department, ensuring labs run seamlessly while instilling proper safety protocols and accountability in our students. Beyond regularly setting up and organizing lab spaces, Reynosa has also taken on the important role of caretaker for all of our lovely science department pets, as well. Her commitment to Webb’s community extends far beyond the science labs, as she is often seen attending weekend
FACULT Y & S TAFF AWAR DS
events to cheer on her students to help ensure that faculty and students feel seen and appreciated. Additionally, as a committed volleyball coach, she inspires athletes to embrace diligence, resilience, and perseverance. Reynosa serves as an exceptional role model for our students, balancing generous support with appropriate accountability. Her colleagues value her as both a reliable professional resource and a compassionate presence in the community.
Dr. Mairin Balisi
The John and Madeline Frampton Staff Celebration Award was established and endowed anonymously in 2023.

Her initiative to clean, organize, and assist wherever needed exemplifies her dedication to the success of her colleagues and the school. Beyond her regular responsibilities, Acosta is a reliable source of support during the summer months, often volunteering to take on extra hours to help other departments.

I am delighted to have joined this remarkable community.

ENDOWED FUNDS
Endowed Funds
As funds held in perpetuity, endowments generate revenue for scholarships, educational programs, athletics, faculty enrichment, and many other areas critical to the success of the schools and museum. A generous endowment gives an institution confidence that it can remain true to its mission regardless of a challenging economy. The Board of Trustees currently uses a 4.0% annual payout rate for Webb and a 5.0% payout rate for the Alf Museum. Webb’s endowed funds are managed by Goldman Sachs & Co., a global leader in investment research, strategy, and management.

Thompson & Vivian Webb Society At Webb today, as in years past, we educate and inspire young people to act with honor and moral courage in everything they do. This, combined with a drive for academic excellence, provides our moral compass and forms our mission. Webb nurtures smart, curious, and independent-minded students to become bold and courageous leaders. You can help perpetuate these values by ensuring that we are able to support the best and brightest students without regard to a family’s ability to pay the full cost of tuition. Our mission and our future depend on it. Webb’s enduring legacy can be your personal legacy when you partner with us to protect and enrich these incredibly important values by including The Webb Schools or the Alf Museum in your philanthropic planning. There are many ways to do so: • A provision in your will or living trust; • Beneficiary designation of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan; • Beneficiary designation of life insurance; • Charitable trusts; • Charitable gift annuities.

Nathan Damrongrat ’26 Connects Paleontology and Home When Nathan Damrongrat ’26 arrived at Webb from Thailand, he didn’t plan to become a paleontologist. And still, after four years of volunteering with the Alf Museum—sorting microfossils, identifying teeth, scanning dinosaurs, and more—he discovered something meaningful and lasting: the power of curiosity and the joy of learning beyond the classroom. Though Damrongrat has pursued a variety of other academic passions at Webb, he remains a devoted museum volunteer, drawn to the stories fossils tell. A few years ago, a casual conversation with Augustyn Family Curator Dr. Mairin Balisi sent him on an unexpected journey. When Dr. Balisi mentioned she was traveling to Thailand for a paleontology conference, Damrongrat was surprised. He had never heard much about dinosaur discoveries in his own country. After some research, Damrongrat discovered something even more remarkable. Thailand is home to many important fossil sites and dinosaur discoveries, yet information about them is limited, particularly in the rural regions where fossils are found. Motivated to change that, he spent last summer creating a bilingual book about Thai dinosaurs, written in both Thai and English, entirely on his own. Copies are now available at a regional dinosaur
museum and through Thailand’s tourism authority, helping to share science and national pride with new audiences. “Writing Meet The Thai Dinosaurs was an experience that allowed me to apply my skills learned at Webb. While writing the book, I had to keep in mind that the target readers were children. Luckily, my Advanced Studies classes at Webb, taken my junior year, allowed me to think outside of the box. This experience showed me that what is learned in the classroom doesn’t need to remain there,” he said. Damrongrat’s story shows how a single spark of inspiration, nurtured through his work at Webb and with the Alf Museum, can grow into something extraordinary that bridges curiosity, culture, and learning.

Estate gifts made through a will or trust may also help reduce federal estate tax liability and allow you to create a charitable legacy that aligns with your personal values. The Advancement Office can help you make a decision regarding your financial plans, which can also include charitable gifts that pay you income during life or provide for your heirs.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA is a simple and tax-efficient way to support Webb. If you are 70½ or older, you can donate up to $108,000 per year directly from your IRA to a qualified charity— reducing your taxable income while satisfying all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD). It’s a powerful way to make an immediate impact on Webb students and programs.
Remainder Interest in a Personal Residence or Farm:
You may retain a life interest in your home or farm while deeding the property to The Webb Schools or the Alf Museum. Though you may continue to live in or use the property, you may claim a tax deduction at the time the property is transferred.
Life Insurance:
The Webb Schools or the Alf Museum can be a total or partial beneficiary of an existing whole life insurance policy, or a new policy may be taken out for this purpose. Life insurance can be used to cover charitable gifts made from your estate. Annuities may also be given to Webb or the museum.
