Sky View High School (SVHS), in Smithfield, Utah, is the northernmost public high school in the state. Part of the Cache County School District, it serves approximately 1,500 students in the 10th through 12th grades in the northern part of Cache County, from the Logan city limits on the south to the Utah-Idaho border on the north.

Sky View is very closely related to North Cache 8-9 Center in the same school district, which has the same mascot. North Cache is also the only "feeder" school (a school which graduates students to a specific other school) to Sky View ("grinder" school), while North Cache has two feeder schools (White Pine and Cedar Ridge), since Sky View is big enough to accommodate all the students. Sky View also incorporates classes from Bridgerland Applied Technology College (BATC). These classes take up two hours and count as one full class credit instead of the normal .5 credit. Buses are provided for transportation to and from BATC.

Until 1964, the Cache County School district maintained two high schools: North Cache (Richmond) and South Cache (Hyrum). Beginning with the 1964-65 school year, both student bodies 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 nineteen years, from 1964 to 1983, Sky View High School served both the northern and southern parts of 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 accepting the southern part of Cache County while Sky View kept the northern half.
