Skyview High School is a high school in Vancouver, Washington, USA, located on 1300 NW 139th Street, in the Salmon Creek area of northern Vancouver. Constructed in 1998, it is the newest of six high schools to be built in the Vancouver School District. The New Building design includes the use of many windows and large open classrooms. The building also contains a 1400-seat Auditorium, which has hosted speakers such as Howard Dean. This auditorium, along with the Lower Gym, is used to host productive assemblies which earnestly attempt to encourage their students that their lives amount to some higher destination and to possess greater aspirations for their future in leading positive, faithful, honest, virtuous and community-serving lives.

Skyview's Marching Band has been competing in the open class division for 5 years (as of Summer 06); with membership from 120-200 in the past years, and the show that they are doing this year is one of the best.

Skyview is home to Vancouver's SMT (Science Math Technology) Magnet. Skyview High School currently offers 14 AP (Advanced Placement) courses. Course availability is dependent upon student enrollment.
