Sawney's brother, John Maurice Webb, joined the school in 1874 and served as co-principal until his death in 1916. John was a scholar of the first rank. Modest and retiring, he did not engage in the public activities of his day. However, many young men caught a gleam out of "Old Jack's" eye that inspired them to plan a public career. John's broad and accurate scholarship was always a source of wonder to his students. His gentle and persuasive manner was an effective counterpart to the stern discipline practiced by his brother. The united efforts of these men created the unique Webb tradition and made Webb School one of America's most distinguished secondary schools. Albert Cauz now serves as Webb's tenth headmaster.

Throughout its rich history, Webb has continued to hold firmly to its central mission. The Webb School strives to develop young people of character and integrity who understand the importance of a strong work ethic and its important relationship to academic excellence. Webb students graduate from Webb extraordinarily well-prepared to pursue a full and successful college experience.
