This simple, direct statement forms the basic foundation of Webb School's honor code. The sentence was a frequent admonition of the School's founder, Sawney Webb and was translated into Latin as the School's motto: "Noli Res Subdole Facere."

The Honor System is The Webb School's own approach to dealing with misconduct that is essentially moral in character. Cheating, stealing, plagiarism (passing off another's work, words, or ideas as one's own), and lying (including willful distortion or misrepresentation) are considered honor offenses.

The Honor Pledge is signed by all students at the beginning of each academic year. It states: "I pledge my word of honor as a Webb gentleman or lady that I will not lie, cheat, or steal."

An additional pledge signed on all tests, papers and other assignments states: "I pledge my word of honor as a Webb gentleman or lady that I have neither given nor received any help on this assignment."

Webb School strives for its students to embrace the honor code so that it becomes a part of their lives, even after they graduate. 1966 graduate John Callow's words, "Just because I graduated from Webb School does not mean my commitment to the honor code has ceased," express the impact the honor code has made on countless alumni.
