F.E. Madill Secondary School (formerly Wingham High School and Wingham District Secondary School) is a high school in Wingham, Ontario. About 950 students currently attend the school. The school is well known for their sports teams, clubs, and school bands who participate in various competitions throughout Ontario.
The school opened in September 1906 as three small buildings in the Wingham Public School. Later, construction began on an actual high school. Increased population and the introduction of shop and home ec classes lead to the construction of a new school. It was sold to W.T. Cruickshank for a dollar and the former location became a radio station (94.5 The Bull). Because so many students came from out of town in 1968, there was a contest held to try to find a new name for the school. The winning name was F.E. Madill, named after the school principal at the time, Frank E. Madill. On March 31, 2010, FE Madill held a pre-release screening of a documentary film entitled Still Bill
