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 school's educational philosophy is centered around three core principles: learning, respect, and community.

[edit] R.A.R.A.
At CWDHS, an innovative program called "R.A.R.A." (Read Always, Read Anywhere) involves every student and staff member taking time out of each day (except Friday) to read. It commenced in September, 2005.
While the program was initiated to combat low literacy rates in boys, and to encourage reading to prepare for the grade 10 literacy test, it remains a polarizing issue amongst students and staff, many of whom regard it to be a waste of time, since most of the students spend the 20 minutes doing things that are not classified as reading.
