Kennebecasis Valley High School (KVHS) is a secondary school that serves students from grades 9 to 12 in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada.
KVHS opened its doors to students in 1975, led by then principal William (Bill) Bishop. It originally served the towns of Rothesay, Quispamsis, Hampton and much of rural Kings County, though today is mostly populated by students from Quispamsis. This is due in part to the opening of Hampton High School in 1992 which served the town of Hampton and much of rural Kings County. Rothesay High School was then opened in 1997 to serve the town of Rothesay. Following Mr. Bishop, the next principal was Robert Munro, and the current principal of Kennebecasis Valley High School is Peter Smith.
Each year KV's Varsity basketball teams compete against their rival Rothesay High in this Memorial Basketball Game. The location of the game alternates each year between the KV and Rothesay Gyms. The girls varsity teams play their game first followed by the boys game. Proceeds from the game go toward a scholarship for a student athlete.
Since 2008, when rival school Rothesay High opened the Arther Miller fields, there has been a memorial football game. The first two of the first four years of this tradition, the games were hosted at Arther Miller field. The following two seasons the games were hosted at KVHS on its own field, Usher Miller field. KVHS won each of the four games played against Rothesay High. In recent years, variations of Miller Bowl have arisen in its stead, carrying titles such as Filler Bowl and Papa John's. These are intended to honour the tradition of Miller Bowl while complying with new restrictions placed on KVHS's football team which prevent them from playing against Rothesay High after having risen to the 12-man league following two consecutive championship wins in the 10-man league. In 2012 they had the Filler bowl against Fredericton High, as they were the first team that played KV at home that season. The following season they hosted the first Papa Johns bowl(as it is sponsored by Papa Johns Pizza) against Saint John High as the coaches and players of KV knew Saint John High School was their true rival in 12 man. The PJ bowl continues to be an exciting game for fans and players alike and is normally a very close game.
