Kennebecasis Valley High School is a public school in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, just east of Saint John. They have been a dominant team in New Brunswick in the 21st century.

Reach for the Top

KVHS has had a string of successes in Reach for the Top. From 2004 to the present, the school has won at the provincial level, attending the national tournament each time. They did not participate in 2005 because of a work-to-rule teacher's strike in the province. At Nationals, they placed 5th in 2004 and 2006, runners-up to the 2007 London Central team in 2007, third in 2008, and runners-up to London Central again in 2009. Morgan Gagnon, Nick Manuel and Mike Forestell have been on their Nationals team three times each, all becomming captain for at least one year (Morgan was unable to attend a fouth time - See 2005 above). In 2010, KV's sixth consecutive New Brunswick title broke the provincial record of five that Fredericton held in the early 1990s. The team also boasts a 227-game undefeated streak at the provincial level since 2004.

SmartAsk!

KVHS was also a strong team during the three seasons of SmartAsk! leading all schools in televised wins with 15. The 2002 Kennebecasis team won the inaugural event. The following season, a younger team reached the finals, losing to the 2003 Merivale team. In the final season, the team made it to the round of 8. Patrick Dunn (who later played at Carleton University) was on the team for all three years, captaining in 2003 and 2004.
