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:
“If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Poetry, and Picture, are Arts of a like nature; and both are busie about imitation. It was excellently said of Plutarch, Poetry was a speaking Picture, and Picture a mute Poesie. For they both invent, faine, and devise many things, and accommodate all they invent to the use, and service of nature. Yet of the two, the Pen is more noble, than the Pencill. For that can speake to the Understanding; the other, but to the Sense.”
—Ben Jonson (1573–1637)
“But here comes Generosity; giving—not to a decayed artist—but to the arts and sciences themselves.—See,—he builds ... whole schools and colleges for those who come after. Lord! how they will magnify his name!
—One honest tear shed in private over the unfortunate, is worth them all.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
