A Message from the Head of School
Scenes From: Casino Night
What Happens in Meriden Stays in Meriden
In what's become a new tradition, Doe Dining Commons is transformed into Vegas for one night as students test their luck (and math skills) during Casino Night. It's a great way to usher in spring, shed those winter boots, and enjoy a little fun with friends and faculty.

Hip-Hop with the Hop
While Dartmouth College's Hopkins Center for the Performing Arts undergoes renovations, KUA hosted a Hopkins Center student matinee. School groups from the Upper Valley came to Flickinger Arts Center for a performance by hip-hop group 23 Skidoo and the Secret Agency. Prior to the show, the South Carolina-based performers hosted a masterclass with KUA's Dance Ensemble while students in the theater tech program worked side-by-side with the Hopkins Center technical staff.
