Arts
KVHS is known in New Brunswick for their success at the New Brunswick Drama festival every year. The Theater program was started by the original principal, because he knew that a great school has to be a well rounded school. from 1977 until 2010 Suzanne Doyle-Yerxa ran the theater program at the school before her retirement in June 2010. That year, a scholarship award was commemorated under her name: The Suzanne Doyle-Yerxa award. It is given to a student that plans on going into the performing arts or creative arts as a post secondary study.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“These arts open great gates of a future, promising to make the world plastic and to lift human life out of its beggary to a god- like ease and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A man must be clothed with society, or we shall feel a certain bareness and poverty, as of a displaced and unfurnished member. He is to be dressed in arts and institutions, as well as in body garments. Now and then a man exquisitely made can live alone, and must; but coop up most men and you undo them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
