It is with enormous sadness that TWHSAT
recognizes the loss of Ray Mt. Joy
Inspired by the art collection of his alma mater, Ray Mt. Joy approached
the Greater Latrobe School District in 2011 about the possibility of repeating
this vision in The Woodlands. With the support of The Woodlands High School and
Conroe Independent School District, Ray and Pam Mt. Joy pursed this dream
of initiating a student selected and student-purchased art collection at The Woodlands
High School. Ray and Pam Mt. Joy invited potential supporters of this vision to Latrobe to see their
collection and easily "sold" us on the idea of a similar collection at The Woodlands High School.
Over the past 12 years our collection has grown to 61 artworks spread over 3 floors of the main
campus and a duplicate collection at the 9th grade campus. In addition, we have accomplished
our vision of sharing this collection with the community, in particular,
elementary schoolstudents through field trips.
We will miss Ray tremendously, but we're reminded of him every day as we see the collection he envisioned at our school. He impacted many during his lifetime and will continue to impact many more through this legacy. He strove to build a community treasure and we are forever grateful for his gift.
