Middle School Activities

Service Learning

Throughout its history, Webb School of Knoxville has been committed to the idea that everyone benefits when leaders help others. At school, in their neighborhoods, and in the town at large, Webb students can help as they develop an understanding of leadership and the nature of the community. Our Middle School provides varied opportunities throughout the year for students to serve and make an impact in the lives of others.

Leadership

Students are welcome to be involved in the following leadership opportunities:

• STUDENT COUNCIL

Elections take place in the fall and appointments are for the school year. Sixth, seventh, and eighth grades are represented.

• HOUSE REPRESENTATION

Middle School students will have the opportunity to serve as student representatives for their assigned House. Representative elections are held after Student Council elections. A student may not serve on both Student Council and as a House Representative.

• NATIONAL JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY (NJHS)

Students are invited to be a part of this organization based on scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Seventh and eighth grade students are eligible according to the NJHS requirements. Letters are mailed to eligible students following the second quarter of school. Initiation takes place in the spring semester.

• MODEL UNITED NATIONS

Open to seventh and eighth grade students, this commitment requires a number of hours outside of school, as well as required conferences statewide. Students engage in public speaking, discussions of current events, and simulating the United Nations. Model UN introduces students to a global community of leaders.
