We caught up with Nancy Hackett Clary ’90 and her daughter Nora ’23 about their shared Beaumont experience. Nancy shared, “The best part for me is seeing Nora happy and understanding the power of being in such a compassionate community.”

Tell us about your favorite class or teacher
My favorite classes were in studio art with Sr. Lucia. The art building was not connected to the main building like it is today so we had to walk outside to get there…not miles uphill in the snow BUT it felt like a different “campus.” A magical feeling place.
I also loved French class with Mr. Langa and English with Mrs. Bihuniak. Both have left indelible memories and fun stories to share. Such challenging subjects that I appreciated so much more once I was in college!
Share your favorite Beaumont tradition
Christmas Ball as a senior was my favorite. I also enjoyed being a part of the track team during my years at Beaumont. Each year we celebrated our state championship accomplishments at our banner raising ceremony- definitely a favorite assembly for me!
What’s the best part of having your daughter attend Beaumont
Lots of laughs! The best part for me is seeing Nora happy and understanding the power of being in such a compassionate community.

Share your favorite Beaumont tradition
My favorite tradition at Beaumont is the school dances. I love getting to dress up and spend time with friends!
What’s the best part of being a legacy
I love hearing my mom’s stories about her time at Beaumont as we’ve had some of the same experiences. We both bonded over taking Mrs. Bihuniak’s class!
What does it mean to you to share this Beaumont experience with your mom
I love that I am carrying on my mom’s legacy at Beaumont. It’s crazy to think that she walked through the same halls when she was my age. It’s been really cool to share this experience together and see that some of her closest friends are the ones she met at Beaumont.
