The Webb community—from faculty and families to friends—proudly celebrated the School’s 156th Commencement Exercises on Saturday, May 23, 2026, honoring 68 graduating seniors for their achievements and distinction.

This accomplished class earned acceptance into colleges and universities across 26 U.S. states, as well as internationally at schools in Canada, the Netherlands and Australia. Many will pursue degrees in the medical field, while others will seek future careers in finance, physics and more. Of the 43 seniors who played at least one sport this academic year, 12 will go on to compete in soccer, golf or baseball at the collegiate level. Whether academically, artistically, or athletically focused, their collective impact illustrates both excellence and a unique global perspective shaped throughout their time on Webb’s 150-acre boarding and day campus in Bell Buckle, Tenn.

From the Class of 2026, 15 seniors were recognized as Old Guard and 16 as Ancient Guard, representing those who began their Webb journeys in the eighth grade, or in the seventh or sixth grade, respectively. These numbers speak to the strong sense of continuity, commitment and community that defines the Webb experience. With this remarkable blend of longstanding dedication and forward-looking achievement, we congratulate these seven graduates from Franklin / Coffee Counties:

Loui Valentino Arellano, Winchester; Katelyn Chance, Manchester, Tallan Dean Crosslin, Manchester; Steven William Ennis, Tullahoma; Christyn Gracie Logan, Manchester; Alora Pearce, Tullahoma, and Lien Phan, Tullahoma.
