Cobequid Educational Centre is a high school in Truro, Nova Scotia. They have a long history of playing Reach for the Top, and have the distinction of being the only school so far to have won the title in both the CBC era and the SchoolReach era.
Cobequid made a few appearances as the Nova Scotia representative since the school's founding in the mid 1970s. In 1981, they won the national championship held in Corner Brook. One player on that team, Hans Budgey, went on to be a teacher at Cobequid, and was instrumental in getting Nova Scotia on board during the SchoolReach revival in the late 1980s. Budgey continues today as Cobequid's coach and Nova Scotia's provincial coordinator.
The 2005 Cobequid team won the title again, in somewhat of an upset over favoured teams like Leaside and St. George's. They beat both teams in the playoffs, the latter 480-420 in the final. Cobequid was a perennial Nova Scotia representative at Nationals for most of the 2000s, and made another final appearance, losing to Kennebecasis in 2010.
