hope boyd’s legacy

Wildwood’s inaugural endowed fund, the Hope Fund for Flexible Tuition, was created in 2007 when Hope retired as Wildwood’s first K-12 head of school. Sadly, Hope passed away this year, but her precious legacy lives on. The Hope Fund generates ongoing revenue to ensure a diverse student body at Wildwood, now and for generations to come. We are so grateful for her vision and her fierce advocacy for children of all backgrounds and circumstances.
