Webb Bridge Middle School's honors continue with its designation as a Blue Ribbon School in 2010, several Lighthouse designations and honors for Principal Elizabeth Fogartie.

The school may be the only North Fulton middle school with an outdoor amphitheater. According to a profile developed by Fogartie, the school is named for the nearby bridge spanning Big Creek. The bridge, in turn, was named for several Webb families who have lived in the area since the 1840s.
