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 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 7 years our collection has grown to 34 artworks spread over 3 floors of the
main campus and a duplicate collection at the 9th grade campus. Just this year we have
accomplished our vision of sharing this collection with the community, in particular,
elementary school students through field trips.
We will miss Ray tremendously, but are honored to be 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.
