Henry H. Wells Middle School is a middle school located in Brewster, NY, Putnam County, approximately fifty miles north of New York City. The Henry H. Wells Middle School was the second school building known to the Brewster Central School District. Opening in 1957, it was known as Brewster High School. At that time, it housed grades 6 - 12. Garden Street School served as the lone elementary building in the district for grades K - 5. Over time, as the district continued to grow, the "new" Brewster High School could not keep up with the needs of the school community. In 1971, when Brewster High School was opened on Foggintown Road, the existing high school was rededicated as the Henry H. Wells Middle School - a school designed to work with the unique characteristics of the middle school child, grades 6 - 8. As the Brewster community continued to grow and prosper, the Middle School was called upon to assist by taking the fifth graders into their midst. From September 1990 - January 1998, the Middle School served grades 5 - 8. With the opening of C.V. Starr Intermediate School in January 1998, the building went back to grades 6 - 8.
