Pasadena High School is in the southern Adelaide suburb of Pasadena, on the corner of Goodwood and Daws Roads. It opened in 1964 as Daws Road High School and operated under this name until 2001.
The campus caters to the Sturt Sabres Basketball Club and Flinders University. At one point this school had an enrolment upwards of 1,200. However, after a steady decline, it had 180 students in 2015.
The school also offers "Doorways to Construction", a program teaching the fundamentals of carpentry, and has a high-ranking ice hockey team, Pasadena Predators, which have won numerous awards. It is home to the historic Tower Arts Theatre and Pasadena's oval is used by the community - 12 of Cumberland United Football Club's junior teams train there, and the nearby Colonel Light Gardens Primary School uses Pasadena's oval for all its cricket training and games.
