Kennebecasis Valley High School (KVHS) is a secondary school that serves students from grades 9 to 12 in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada.
Mascot change
On March 4th 2022, the mascot of Kennebecasis Valley High School was changed to "Knickie", a blue knight, following nearly 50 years of having "Ken", a crusader, as their previous mascot. The mascot change was put in place in order to give a more inclusive figure to represent the school[1], likely due to the brutal history of Crusades.
Academic achievement
- In May 2017, two KVHS students competed in the "nationals" for the Canadian Parents for French National Speech Competition [2]
Artistic achievements
KVHS is known in New Brunswick for their success at the New Brunswick Drama festival every year. The theatre program was started by the original principal William Bishop. Suzanne Doyle-Yerxa then ran the theatre program at the school from 1977 to 2010 before her retirement in June 2010. That year, a scholarship was commemorated under her name: The Suzanne Doyle-Yerxa award. It is awarded to a student who plans to pursue the performing arts or creative arts as a post secondary study. KVHS has also received attention for its strong visual arts and music programs.
