Fight Song U-S-U, It's time to fight! fight! fight! fight!
Men of navy blue and white, fight! fight! fight!
Utah State is out to win! win! win!
The mighty Aggies roll on and roll on forever
Make that score, you men of Utah State!
And fight! fight! fight, you men of Utah State
True Aggies never fall we bet you
Take'em all for old navy blue and white! RAH! RAH! RAH!
Hail the Utah Aggies,
We'll play the game with all our might!
See the colors flying,
The Aggie Blue and Fighting White!
How they stir us onward,
we'll win the victory all right,
Hail the Utah Aggies,
We're out to win so fight, fight, fight!
Utah State, Hey! Aggies all the way!
Go Aggies! Go Aggies! Hey, Hey, Hey!"
Alma Mater Hymn
Across the Guad at eventide,
as shadows softly fall,
The tower of Old Main appears and
peace rests over all.
The lighted "A" upon the hill
stands out against the blue;
Oh, Alma Mater, Utah State,
my heart sings out to you.
And through the years as time rolls on,
and student friendships grow,
We'll ne'er forget the joys we had,
those days we used to know.
Thy mem'ries ever will be new,
thy friends be ever true;
Oh, Alma Mater, Utah State,
my heart sings out to you.
The Scotsman: Song
Show me the Scotsman
who doesn't love the thistle
Show me the Englishman
who doesn't love the rose
Show me the true-blooded
Aggie from Utah
Who doesn't love the spot
(stomp, stomp)
where the sagebrush grows |

Logan, Utah
According to the United States Census Bureau, Logan has a total area of 17.0 square miles (44.2 km²), of which, 16.5 square miles (42.8 km²) of it is land and 0.5 square miles (1.4 km²) of it (3.17%) is water.
The city lies near the eastern edge of Cache Valley on the western slopes of the Bear River Mountains, the northernmost branch of the Wasatch Range. The eastern portions of the city are constructed on top of an ancient alluvial fan with very steep slopes that reach into the rest of town and to the Logan River bottom. To the west lies a flatland that contains farmland and marshes. To the north and south lie the quickly-growing residential suburbs of Logan. Logan also lies at the western terminus of Logan Canyon.
U.S. Routes 89 and 91 enter from the southwest together and separate in downtown Logan. US-91 heads north into Idaho through Cache Valley while US-89 heads northeast into Logan Canyon and on to Bear Lake. Logan is also served by a local sales-tax-funded zero-fare bus system called the Cache Valley Transit District (CVTD), which incorporated the Logan Transit District (LTD) on February 23, 2007. The system began in 1992 with 6 routes, while service outside of Logan was offered in 2000.[2] The system consists of 11 routes that serve Logan itself, North Logan, and River Heights (the former LTD). There's also a northern route that reaches north to Richmond, and a southern route that serves the southern suburbs and Hyrum (the original CVTD). There's also a four-time daily connection to Lewiston and Preston, Idaho.
There is a public airport (Logan-Cache Airport, IATA code LGU) but it currently has no scheduled air services, as the city is within an easy drive of Salt Lake City International Airport.
Education
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 12.3% of adults 25 years and older have a graduate or professional degree, 22.2% have a bachelors degree, 8.4% have an associates degree, and 27.7% have some college but no degree. This may be an influence of the high percentage of Utah State University faculty and staff residing in the city.
Average ACT scores in the Logan School District in 2005 were 21.5 for English, 21.3 for math, 22.7 for reading, 22.1 for science and 22 composite score. Average ACT scores in the Cache County School District, which surrounds Logan city, in 2005 were 20.9 in English, 20.8 in math, 22.5 in reading, 21.5 in science and 21.5 composite score. Two-hundred-fifty Logan High School students took the ACT in 2005 and 593 Mountain Crest, Sky View, and Cache High students (in Cache County School District) took the test in 2005.
Approximately $4,146 is spent per pupil in the Logan School District. In October 2005, there were 2,600 kindergarten through fifth-grade students, 1,252 sixth- through eighth-grade students and 1,702 high school students. Those numbers report about a 100-student decrease from the previous year. Drop-out rate was 2.3%. 11% of students speak English as a second language.
During the 2004-2005 school year, there were 321 professional teachers, resulting in a pupil/teacher ratio of 25.9. The average contract salary for teachers was $38,639.
There are six elementary schools (K-5), 1 middle school, (6-8), and 1 high school (9-12), with two campuses, in Logan. There is also a charter high school in Logan and one alternative high school in Logan for the Cache County School District. The Cache District has two regular high schools outside Logan in other cities.
Bridgerland Applied Technology College provides opportunities for students to learn life skills in business, dental technology, design and construction, fashion and hospitality, health science, information technology, manufacturing, nutrition and food, public safety, and transportation.

Interesting facts gathered from Cache County School District
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.
Sky View History
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.
