Sky View High School (SVHS), is located in Smithfield, Utah, twelve miles from the Utah-Idaho border. It is the northernmost high school in the state of Utah. It serves students in 10th through 12th grades. Sky View first opened its doors in 1963 and the first graduating class was in 1965. Sky View served as the only High School in the Cache County School District for 20 years until Mountain Crest was opened in 1983.

Sky View has a rich tradition of excellence. Academically, Sky View students have a wide range of opportunities. Students can complete graduation requirements while at the same time completing classes in the State's Career and Technical Education program, taking classes from the Bridgerland Applied Technology College, or by participating in concurrent enrollment classes available through a partnership with Utah State University. Each year a number of graduating seniors receive not only their high school diploma, but an Associates Degree as well.

Students also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities while here at Sky View. We have a number of clubs and organizations that provide leadership and service opportunities to students. Sky View has an excellent reputation in the performing arts, business, agricultural science, the visual arts and family and consumer science. As part of the Utah High School Activities Association, students also have an opportunity to participate in a number of athletic and other activities such as Debate where Sky View holds six straight state titles.

School Profile
Sky View High School is located in Smithfield, a small but quickly-growing city in northern Utah.  The school, one of three high schools in the Cache Valley area, serves approximately 1500 students in grades 10-12. Sky View's mascot is the Bobcat. This once-quaint valley has recently hit the 100,000 population mark. This is a semi-rural agricultural region that also boasts of light industry and a burgeoning, diverse business sector. Logan, the largest city in the area, lies seven miles south of Smithfield. It is the home of Utah State University and Bridgerland Applied Technology College.

Until 1963, the Cache County School district maintained two high schools: North Cache (Richmond) and South Cache (Hyrum). Beginning with the 1963-64 school year, both studentbodies were combined at the newly built Sky View in Smithfield. The two former high schools were converted to junior highs, covering grades 7 to 9.

For twenty years, from 1963 to 1983, Sky View High School served both the northern and southern parts of Utah's Cache County. Residents of Logan continued to attend Logan High School, which belonged to the Logan City School District. This meant that students from the southern end of the valley would board a bus, travel as far as ten or fifteen miles to Logan, pass within one block of Logan High School and continue another eight miles to Sky View. After the completion and opening of Mountain Crest High School in Hyrum in 1983, Mountain Crest began serving the southern part of Cache County while Sky View kept the northern half.

In 1974, large whitewashed letters "SV" were placed on a foothill outside Hyde Park, overlooking the football field.

Perhaps unusual for a largely rural school, Sky View High has a long-standing record of excellence in music, drama and debate, which attract students in disproportionate numbers. Its debate team, for example, has about 85 members, nearly triple the average; it has won a lopsided share of state championships and region championships, taking the Region title (as of 2008) eight years in a row, and winning the State title six years in a row.
