Pacific Heights is geographically located in north west Saskatoon. The main construction boom for this community was the 1970s, during which the City of Saskatoon annexed the land. [2] Following elementary school, students usually attend Mount Royal Collegiate in the neighbouring area of Mount Royal or E.D. Feehan Catholic High School on Avenue M North a part of Caswell Hill community.[3] By September of 2007, these students will likely change to the closer high schools in the Blairmore SDA [4]
