Joyce Garver was a music, art, and drama teacher at Camas High School (Camas, WA) from 1958 to 1993. She was known for orchestrating large and lively musical productions such as “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Camelot,” “Pirates of Penzance,” “My Fair Lady,” and “Hello, Dolly.” By encouraging participation in the performing arts, she brought out the best in her students, and helped them build the confidence and skills that would change the course of their lives for the better. In appreciation, many of her former students will be presenting a concert on October 14, 2023, dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Garver, and to her work, which has reverberated throughout the years. Please explore this website, and the memories and beauty that Mrs. Garver left for our enjoyment and inspiration.
