“Joan’s leadership taught us that discovery doesn’t stop at the edge of the curriculum. It lives in every experience that opens a student’s world.”
— Stacy Turner, Head of School

When former Head of Hamlin Robinson School, Joan Beauregard, retired in 2018, the HRS community wanted to create a legacy of her leadership. Her desire was to establish an endowment that would ensure the students of HRS would always have access to enrichment opportunities beyond the four walls of the classroom.

With a donation from Joan and husband Jim — and buoyed by donations from scores of other HRS community members — the Joan
Beauregard Endowment for Discovery and Enrichment was founded. And because endowment gifts support a purpose in perpetuity, the endowment creates opportunities for our students every year!

Since its founding, the Beauregard Endowment has brought learning to life by funding special guests, visiting artists, authors, scientists, and performances that enrich the HRS experience.

These moments spark imagination, inspire confidence, and remind every student that the joy of learning reaches far beyond textbooks
or lesson plans. From hands-on science presentations to storytelling workshops and live music experiences, these opportunities help our students see themselves as creators, thinkers, and explorers.

Now, thanks to the generosity of Joan Beauregard & Jim Woeppel and Andrea & Jon Archer, we have the extraordinary opportunity to grow this endowment even further. Up to $10,000 in gifts made to the Joan Beauregard Endowment for Discovery and Enrichment by December 31, 2025, will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

That means every gift, no matter the size, will have twice the impact, creating more opportunities for students to engage,
imagine, and dream big.
