History

The school is named in honour of Edward Daniel Feehan, the first superintendent of education of St. Paul R.C.S.S.D. No. 20 in the city of Saskatoon. He was also the first principal of St. Mary School, the first school in the division. As of 2019, Feehan is one of only two non-religious figures (the other being Governor General Georges Vanier) to have a school in the Saskatoon Catholic school system named after them; all other schools in the system are named for either religious leaders, saints, place names, or descriptive terms.

E. D. Feehan offers several courses for students in grades nine to twelve, such as the standard educational programs, woodworking, cooking, and computer classes. It also offers opportunities in career pathways focused on residential home construction and health care. 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.

Currently its feeder schools are St. Edward School, École St. Gerard School, St. John School, St. Mary's Wellness & Education Centre, St. Maria Goretti Community School and St. Michael Community School.

This year 2017–2018, E.D. Feehan will be celebrating its 50th year celebration in education and excellence.
