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:
“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)
“The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented, sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modelled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
