Central Hastings School (CHS) is a K-12 school located in Madoc, Ontario in Hastings County serving 800+ students from across Centre Hastings. They offer Specialized High Skills Major which is a specialized high school diploma where students focus their secondary school education around the construction sector.[1]
The school was formerly Centre Hastings Secondary School. An accommodation review of schools in the area during 2016-2017 resulted in a Board decision to close Madoc Public School and consolidate it with Centre Hastings Secondary School as a K-12 school on the Centre Hastings site.[2] The HPEDSB received $5.8 million in Ministry of Education funding in 2018, along with an additional $2.7 million in April 2020, to consolidate Madoc Public School and Centre Hastings Secondary School to create a K-12 school.[3]
CHS has established itself as a community leader hosting dance recitals from the nearby Madoc School of Dance Arts and giving space to the elearnnetwork.ca to set up a centre inside the school.
