E. D. Feehan Catholic High School

E. D. Feehan Catholic High School is a Catholic high school on the west side of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in the neighborhood known as Caswell Hill. It falls under the Greater Saskatoon Catholic School Division. It was the only Catholic high school on the city's west end until 2008 when Bethlehem High School, located in the Blairmore Suburban Centre, opened its doors.

The school is named in honour of Edward Daniel Feehan, the first superintendent of education of the St. Paul’s Roman Catholic School Division No. 20 in the city of Saskatoon. He was also the first principal of St. Mary School, the first school in the division.

Prior to 2007, Feehan used to average a student population of thirteen hundred students, however, when Bethlehem High School opened that year, that average dropped dramatically to six or seven hundred.

The school offers designated French and Ukrainian bilingual programs. In addition to these languages, Cree and Spanish are also offered. Feehan offers several courses for students in grades nine to twelve, such as the standard educational programs, woodworking, cooking, and computer classes. The school also is known for its volunteer work with participants of the Special Olympics program along with its alternative program for students with special needs.

With the opening of Bethlehem High School in 2007, E.D. Feehan's enrolment dropped dramatically from 1200 to 483 by 2009.^[1]

Sports

The school athletic teams are the "Trojans" for the boys and the "Troys" for the girls. The school colors are blue and gold (usually represented by yellow).
