We are excited that you will be joining us at Webb School of Knoxville this fall. Welcome! The information contained in this booklet will further introduce you to Webb School. It also offers key information to help our newest Spartans and their families get off to a great start.
For 65-plus years, Webb School of Knoxville has stood as a pillar of excellence in education. On the school’s opening day in 1955, Robert Webb, Webb School founder and first headmaster, told the school’s inaugural four students, “Your teachers will try to teach you to build strong bodies . . . train your intelligence . . . give you a strong sense of values so you will always know right from wrong. They will try very hard to teach you how to study, and last but not least, they will try to teach you how to think.” All of us at Webb continue to embrace the spirit and values embedded in Mr. Webb’s charge, especially as we welcome our newest Spartans to campus.
As you begin your journey at Webb School, I recognize that change, while exciting, can also be challenging and worrisome. My family and I felt the same when we made our transition to Knoxville and to Webb School. But as my

WEBB SCHOOL
mission
The mission of Webb School is to inspire and nurture the full potential of each individual and to prepare our students to serve as leaders of character in tomorrow’s world.
Our mission is supported and achieved by our core values: The pursuit of academic excellence.
A strong sense of honor and personal integrity. The development of critical, creative, and socially conscious thinking.
A culture of interacting with others in a respectful and productive manner in a vibrant, caring community.
WEBB COMMUNITY
norms
The Webb School culture and relationships between the school and families are strong. Developing and utilizing shared behavioral norms between Webb faculty, staff, and families can help further engender a trusting community and culture of connection and care. By doing so, the school and families can work better together as partners in support of the healthy development and growth of Webb students. Indeed, we are all on the Webb team and these norms can serve as our relational compass! And by referencing, practicing, and living into the following norms, we’ll ultimately better position ourselves to serve as Webb School ambassadors and advance the school’s mission.
1. Assume good intent by keeping our shared commitment to and responsibility for children, their growth, and Webb’s mission at the center.
2. Seek to first understand by being present, actively listening and asking good questions.
3. Communicate in a mutually candid, respectful, civil, and timely manner – in-person and online – while also remaining mindful of out-of-school time.
4. Find opportunities to recognize, celebrate, and express gratitude for one another.
overview
True to Webb
In October 2024, Webb School unveiled its new strategic plan, True to Webb. Grounded in a tradition of excellence and inspired by the possible, True to Webb offers a vision for the school over the next decade.
In service to Webb School’s enduring motto, Principes non Homines (“Leaders not Ordinary People” ), True to Webb is a dynamic blueprint that, upheld by five intertwined pillars, serves as a living compass in steering Webb’s endeavors while remaining nimble and agile in allowing for adaptability and innovation.
True to Webb was created for, through, and by the Webb community. The planning process itself was inclusive and expansive, relying on and reflecting faculty, staff, parent, student, alumni, and Webb Board of Trustees input through extensive surveying, listening sessions, focus groups, and design teams.
True to Webb reflects a firm acknowledgment of and commitment to what has always differentiated the Webb School experience – independence, honor, excellence, service – while being ever mindful of and motivated by what’s possible and “what’s next” for the school to more fully live into its mission in different, deeper, and dynamic ways.
Scan the QR code above for an overview of Webb School’s True to Webb strategic plan; a living framework for the school that embraces and clarifies the strengths of Webb’s past and shared values while charting a bold and dynamic path forward.
The campus bookstore is located in Webb’s Central Building, just past the Admissions lobby. School supplies, clothing items, and assorted novelty items are available. Students each have a charge account or parents may elect to use cash/card for purchases. Lower School students are not allowed to charge any items to their bookstore accounts without a parent present.

Each Upper and Middle School student is assigned to an advisory led by a faculty or staff advisor who is an advocate for his/her advisees – providing guidance and concern – and serves as the main liaison between the student or parent and the school. In the Middle School, advisors and advisories change each year, while Upper School students generally retain the same advisor and group for their time in the high school.

involvement PARENT
Parents send a powerful message to their children when they get involved in their school community. Even as students grow older, they enjoy seeing their parents active in the life of the school. Webb’s commitment to providing a broad and deep menu of activities can only be achieved with the help of hundreds of volunteers. From supporting teachers in the classroom to organizing schoolwide events, our parents are superheroes!
The following are just a few of the numerous Webb events that depend on parent volunteers for their success:
• ARTXTRAVAGANZA
• WEBBFEST
• FACULTY & STAFF APPRECIATION LUNCHES
• WEBB FUND VOLUNTEER
For more information on parent volunteer opportunities at Webb, email parent.vol@webbschool.org.
PARENT ADVISORY
Our Parent Advisory Committees (PAC) facilitate parental involvement at Webb School. There is a separate PAC for each division – Lower, Middle, and Upper. The PACs help with communications, social events, student activities, and educational programs. Within PAC, parents can volunteer to serve as officers, special committee chairs, advisory/room parents, Webb Fund leaders, and grade-level representatives.

About Webb’s Crane Society
KELLEY CAIN
Database & Advancement Coordinator
kelley.cain@webbschool.org 865-291-3842
At Webb’s Lower School, it’s a cherished custom to celebrate the senior class with a year-end ceremony, where each Spartan graduate receives a string of origami cranes, symbolizing the support, love, and community they have at Webb School. Inspired by this tradition, Webb’s leadership donor group is aptly named the Crane Society. These generous donors are vital in nurturing the very spirit of connection and care the cranes represent. Crane Society members are invited to a special thank-you reception, recognized in the Impact Report, honored as distinguished donors, and receive a personal Society pin.
CRANE SOCIETY LEVELS:
• Clock Tower Circle
$25,000 +
• Founder’s Circle: $15,000 - $24,999
• Chairman’s Circle: $10,000 - $14,999
• Benefactor’s Circle: $5,000 - $9,999
• Patron’s Circle: $2,500 - $4,999
• President’s Circle: $2,000 - $2,499
At Webb School of Knoxville, every student is enriched by exceptional opportunities – from world-class teachers and dynamic academics to championship athletics and a thriving arts program. However, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of delivering this level of excellence. That’s where the Webb Fund comes in.
What is the Webb Fund?

Spartan athletics is an extension of Webb School’s classrooms – an environment where dynamic growth continues. Students deepen their understanding of hard work and commitment; of sacrificing for a team; of competing to bring out the best in themselves and their opponents; and of winning and losing with humility. To reinforce these core values, Webb’s athletic department offers programs that promote sportsmanship, respect for the rules and one’s opponent, and the ability to handle both victory and defeat with grace. We strive to instill integrity, perseverance, responsibility, commitment, leadership, and respect in every studentathlete. Each Spartan athlete gains an understanding of teamwork, discipline in a team setting, and the joy of competition, with an emphasis on participating in multiple sports. It’s all about the challenge – one that we enthusiastically embrace.
Webb’s athletics program offers over 70 teams in 17 different interscholastic sports for Middle School and Upper School students. If you have any questions about Spartan athletics, please email athletics@webbschool.org.
