Entering high school, Beauchamp moved to Seattle to play basketball at Nathan Hale High School under head coach and former NBA All-Star Brandon Roy to face stronger competition. As a freshman, he spent most of his time on the bench on a team that featured Michael Porter Jr. and Jontay Porter. As a sophomore, Beauchamp transferred to Garfield High School in Seattle where he was given the opportunity to play a bigger role. He won his second straight Class 4A state championship and helped Garfield reach the quarterfinals at the High School Nationals. He ended up transferring again to Rainier Beach High School in Seattle. After leading Rainier Beach to league and district titles, he was named the MVP of the Seattle 3A Metro League. Beauchamp guided his team to a Class 3A state semifinal appearance and fifth place in the state tournament. He averaged 26 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists per game and was named to the USA Today All-USA Washington second team and Associated Press Class 3A All-State first team. He transferred to Dream City Christian School, a school in Glendale, Arizona where he finished his high school career. After the season, he went back to his hometown of Yakima to graduate from Eisenhower High School. He declined various college offers and decided to join a training program in San Francisco to get ready for the 2021 draft. However, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which meant that gyms around the country had to be closed. Beauchamp was forced to return home. He would end up joining Yakima Valley College, a local junior college, where he thrived, averaging 30.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game through 12 games. Once again, he passed on the opportunity to play Division 1 ball and headed to the G League Ignite program. He was a solid contributor, averaging 15.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. On June 23, his dreams finally came true as he was selected with the 24th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks.
