Eric's Evaporator: Honoring Eric Tomlins

Few people have shaped Randolph as deeply as Eric Tomlins. Through his vision, care, and commitment to children, Eric introduced sugaring to our community, planting what would become one of the school's most beloved traditions.

The seeds Eric planted reach far beyond the sugarbush. They live in the curiosity, confidence, and connection to place that generations of Randolph children have carried with them. Yet nowhere is his spirit felt more strongly than among the maple trees, where each spring reminds us of the sweetness that comes from patience, stewardship, and community.

This campaign honors Eric's enduring legacy and helps ensure that the experiences he helped create will continue to enrich the lives of young people at Randolph for years to come.

*Donors who make a gift of $250 or more will have the opportunity to become a permanent part of this special place through our Plaque the Shack initiative. As a thank you, we'll invite you to add your name or message on a maple-leaf plaque that will be displayed on the Sugar Shack, creating a lasting connection between your generosity and the generations of children who will continue to learn, gather, and make memories there.

After making your gift, a member of our team will follow up with details about your desired inscription.
