Remembering Mike Webb • April 25, 1973 – October 26, 2023
It’s with incredible sadness that we share the passing of a beloved member of the MDS community: Michael Webb. Mike was an integral part of the Monte community for over 20 years and single-handedly created our incredible photography program. Mike impacted the lives of countless students and adults as an educator and friend, and he will be missed. Rest in Power.
