Webb's recipients of the McQuiddy Award form a unique group. The classroom absorbs a great deal of energy. Questions hit the instructor from all sides between classes. Time after school is given for extra help before practice begins. That night may call for residential duty and there is always the next day to plan.
Teaching is a demanding job with few tangible rewards.
For the past eleven graduation ceremonies, the David Newton McQuiddy Award has celebrated a member of Webb's faculty. However, the McQuiddy does not simply award excellence in teaching. Selected by the students, the McQuiddy rewards those teachers who educate the total person in and most especially outside the classroom. These recipients are outstanding examples of a faculty that maintain Webb's mission to not only turn out good scholars, but good people. From coaching to theatre to residential life each of these teachers maintains a strong impact on Webb students.
