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. In 2017 it announced formal links with the Australian Science and Maths School and Flinders University.

In 2017 the school also adopted a science, technology, engineering, arts and maths focus.

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 has a dedicated disability unit and also offers "Doorways to Construction", a program teaching the fundamentals of carpentry. It has a high-ranking ice hockey team, Pasadena Predators, which has won numerous awards. It is home to the historic Tower Arts Theatre and Pasadena's oval is used by the community - 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.

In 2017 the school was awarded $10 million for refurbishment works from the state government’s Building Better Schools initiative. In 2018 the school released an initial plan showing the funds would be spent on upgrading core buildings, adding a sports science centre linked to the current school’s basketball stadium and improving the overall look and feel of the school.
