Centre Wellington District High School, or CWDHS, is a high school located in Fergus, Ontario. The school was originally called Fergus High School and was constructed in 1928. [1] 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. [2] It is run by the Upper Grand District School Board. The principal of the school is Kevin Taylor; the school's vice principals Christine Kirkland and Andrew Ethier.
The school's educational philosophy is centered on three core principles: learning, respect, and community.
The CWDHS school includes the following departments:
Similar to most high schools, CWDHS has a vast extracurricular athletic program in which teams travel to surrounding schools to compete. The school is particularly strong in distance running, hockey, rugby and wrestling, having heralded several provincial and national champions in these sports. [3] [4]

CWDHS plays in the 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.
