Webb’s classrooms are scattered around campus in multifunctional buildings for various courses. The Liu Cheung theater has humanities and math Nelson classrooms that surround its perimeter, while Fawcett Library is not only home to books, but the Harkness discussion structure students grew to love. Here is a look into what features and tools make each classroom experience so different.
Thornton Laboratory sits in the science building, a home for AP Biology and AP Chemistry courses. The lab benches behind the rolling desks allow for students to integrate classroom material into real experiments as they perform scientific research, before their very eyes. The hands-on application reinforces memory that allows students to perfect their Science Practice standards, a grading system Webb uses.
Delightful and entertaining Heloise Robertson (‘23) is a cherished personality at Webb for her friendly face and hilarious jokes. Our new Chief Copy Editor is a secretly talented chef, a caring camp counselor, an avid fan of horror literature, and the Webb Canyon Chronicle’s fastest editor. She has learned the importance of teamwork and empathy through participating in basketball and cross country. If you need a hand, hers is out to pick you up. Her personal goals this year are to keep a healthy self-care routine, starting with making her bed every morning before school. Heloise’s vision board for journalism includes making sure every article is timely, ensuring that she spots every grammar mistake, and including the student body in the publication better. Knock on this Head Editor’s Jameson dorm room, and you’ll find her eating sushi, watching Despicable Me, and lying on her stuffed elephant.“This Charming Man” by The Smiths
SohumUppal (‘25) likes to build cars during his free time. Yes, you heard that right — not toy cars or miniature models, but life-sized, mechanical engines used for transportation.Currently embroiled in fixing a motorcycle, he finds peace in tinkering with nuanced components to enliven a fully functional vehicle. Just like how he enjoys fine-tuning wires and relocating structures, Sohum lives for the thrill of transforming numbers and functions when he tries to solve math problems. In fact, he had been learningmath during the past summer while making chicken boxes at Raising Cane's and playing with his Siberian husky, Astro. Sohum’s productive break ended a week earlier than most of his peers, because of his new leadership role as the student government’s serotonin commissioner.He loved planning community events such as the Welcome Back Dance and hopes to give students a boost of happiness, especially during stressful times. Sohum looks forward to establishing genuine connections with the Webb community this year through communityservice and sports. As the Science and Technology SectionEditor in the WCC, he strives to increaserelated articles with his passion for STEM. One thing is for certain: the Tech section is in great hands.
