Beauregard Parish School Board is a school district headquartered in DeRidder in Beauregard Parish in southwestern Louisiana, United States.

From 1933 to 1944, Gilbert Franklin Hennigan, then of DeRidder, was the school board president. In 1943, he was elected the president of the Louisiana School Board Association. He left the board to serve from 1944 to 1956 in the Louisiana State Senate. A strong advocate of public education, Hennigan worked to make McNeese State University in Lake Charles a four-year college and to pass legislation creating the state teacher retirement system. He died at the age of seventy-seven in 1960 in Calcasieu Parish.

From 1969 to 1992, Dorothy Sue Hill, the state representative for Allen, Beauregard, and Calcasieu parishes, taught home economics for Beauregard Parish schools. Her husband and legislative predecessor, Herman Ray Hill, was a teacher and coach for the school district.
