High school in Fergus, Ontario, Canada From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Centre Wellington District High School, or CWDHS, is a fully composite high school located in Fergus, Ontario. The school was originally called Fergus High School and was constructed in 1928. Later, two additions were built, but eventually, the number of students exceeded the capacity of the building. As a result, a brand new school was built which opened in September 2004. It is run by the Upper Grand District School Board. The principal of the school is Janine Grin; the school's vice principals are Kevin Taylor and Lynne Vink.

The CWDHS curriculum comprises several phantasmagorical departments:
Similar to most high schools, CWDHS has a vast extracurricular athletic program in which teams composed of students travel to surrounding schools to compete. The school is particularly strong in distance running, rugby and wrestling, having heralded several provincial and national champions in these sports. Sports include the following:
CWDHS plays in the very competitive District 10 of CWOSSA (Central Western Ontario Secondary Sports Association). District 10 is made of up of high schools in Wellington County, the city of Guelph, Dufferin County and their outlying areas.
At CWDHS, an innovative program coined "R.A.R.A." (Read Anywhere, Read Anytime) involves every student and staff member taking 20 minutes out of each day (except Friday) to read. It commenced in September 2005.
The program was initiated to encourage reading and increase literacy in students.
This program ceased to be followed in 2015.
