Skyridge High School is Lehi's newer, bigger high school. Home of the Falcons, it opened in August 2016 at 3000 North Center Street to take pressure off Lehi High, and it hasn't stopped growing: 2,644 students in the state's October 2025 count, the most in Lehi. Its Class of 2025 graduated at 92.3%, above the statewide 89.8%.
This guide covers the questions families ask: the 2026-27 bell schedule (including SKYTIME), the calendar, who attends, the numbers, the long list of college credit options, sports and tickets, and the 2027 move to Aspen Peaks School District. School details are from Skyridge's website, counseling site and 2026-27 bell schedule, read Nov. 13, 2026; enrollment and graduation figures are from the Utah State Board of Education.

The building
Skyridge was built for a city growing faster than its schools. It was one of the projects in Alpine School District's $387 million bond for new and rebuilt schools, and when it opened on Aug. 22, 2016, KSL reported 2,350 students on the first day, more than the roughly 2,200 planners expected.
The building won Engineering News-Record's 2017 Mountain States best K-12 project. According to ENR, it cost $64 million and covers 342,000 square feet, designed by Sandstrom Architecture and built by Hogan & Associates. The layout is a V shape wrapped around a central core that holds the offices, media center, computer labs and cafeteria, so staff can see across academic and common areas and each wing can be secured on its own in an emergency. Music, athletics and industrial education rooms sit apart from classrooms to keep the noise down. Big windows face the mountains, and the exterior's colors are meant to echo the Wasatch.
The sports facilities are a big part of the campus: a 4,700-seat football stadium, a 3,300-seat main gym and two auxiliary gyms, a 1,200-seat auditorium, eight tennis courts and a baseball and softball complex. The site was even plumbed for up to 28 portable classrooms in case enrollment outran the building.
One more piece of history: Skyridge's founding principal was Joel Perkins, a former Lehi High teacher and coach and Lehi Junior High principal. After six years at Skyridge he moved to the district office, and in January 2026 the Aspen Peaks board appointed him the new district's first superintendent.
Who attends: the boundary
Skyridge serves northern Lehi. By Alpine's 2026-27 boundary map, its attendance area covers about 18.6 square miles, a bit more than half of Lehi's land.
The feeder schools from that map:
- Middle and junior high: all of Viewpoint Middle School's area and about 46% of Lehi Junior High's.
- Elementary schools: all of the Belmont, Fox Hollow, Liberty Hills, Sego Lily and Traverse Mountain areas, nearly all of Eaglecrest (97%), and about 38% of Freedom Elementary.
Lehi Junior High splits between Skyridge and Lehi High, and Freedom Elementary splits too, so neighbors can end up at different schools. Lehi is still building, and new subdivisions are assigned as they go up. Check an address on Alpine's school boundary dashboard before you sign or buy. Our Skyridge attendance-area page lists the feeders, and the Lehi neighborhoods guide walks through the city.
What changes in 2027
Voters split Alpine School District into three in November 2024. On July 1, 2027, Skyridge moves to Aspen Peaks School District, which covers Lehi, American Fork, Alpine, Cedar Hills, Highland and the Utah County part of Draper.
- The school stays the same. Same building, name and mascot.
- The district office changes. Registration, fees, transportation, open enrollment and the school board move to Aspen Peaks for 2027-28.
- Familiar leadership. Aspen Peaks' superintendent, Perkins, opened Skyridge. The seven-member board, led by president Diane Knight, was sworn in Nov. 25, 2025.
- Boundaries could move later. Aspen Peaks began a boundary study early. Changes go through public meetings; current lines hold for 2026-27.
Our Aspen Peaks guide follows the board and the boundary study.
The 2026-27 bell schedule
Skyridge posts its 2026-27 bell schedule as a document linked from the home page. The warning bell rings at 7:40 a.m. every day.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday:
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| 1st | 7:45 to 9:00 |
| 2nd | 9:05 to 10:25 |
| SKYTIME | 10:25 to 10:55 |
| 3rd | 11:00 to 12:15 |
| Lunch | 12:15 to 12:55 |
| 4th | 1:00 to 2:15 |
Wednesday:
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| 1st | 7:45 to 8:50 |
| 2nd | 8:55 to 10:05 |
| 3rd | 10:10 to 11:15 |
| 4th | 11:20 to 12:25 |
| Lunch | 12:30 to 1:15 |
SKYTIME is a 30-minute block in the middle of the morning, four days a week. Ask the school how your student is expected to use it.
The document also lists an assembly schedule (a 55-minute assembly from 10:15 to 11:10, with the day still ending at 2:15), a double assembly version that splits the student body by wing, a minimal day schedule with four 40-minute periods and buses at 11:15 a.m., and a separate schedule for Aspire testing days. Like other Alpine high schools, Skyridge runs on A/B days: first through fourth period are A1-A4 one day and B5-B8 the next.

Size, students and graduation
The state's Oct. 1, 2025 count:
| Grade | Students |
|---|---|
| 10th | 856 |
| 11th | 845 |
| 12th | 837 |
| Total (with 80 ninth-graders) | 2,644 |
About 12% of students are Hispanic and about 78% white; 9.7% are economically disadvantaged, one of the lower shares in the county, and 86 are English learners.
The Class of 2025, 809 students, graduated at 92.3%, with a 6.8% dropout rate, against 89.8% statewide.
Skyridge beside its region
From the same state data, the four 6A Region 3 schools in Alpine School District (Corner Canyon is in Canyons School District in Salt Lake County):
| Students | Grad rate 2025 | Econ. disadvantaged | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skyridge | 2,644 | 92.3% | 9.7% |
| Lehi | 2,394 | 92.7% | 11.5% |
| American Fork | 2,343 | 92.4% | 15.3% |
| Lone Peak | 2,436 | 97.0% | 6.6% |
Skyridge is the largest of the four. Ask on a tour what that size means in practice: class sizes, how many sections of advanced courses run, and how many students try out for each team. Our graduation rates guide covers every county high school, and the enrollment guide shows how fast the north county schools have grown.
College credit: more options than most
Skyridge's counseling site lays out a long menu for earning college credit in high school:
- AP courses. Credit depends on the exam score, and each college sets its own policy; the counseling page points students to colleges' AP transfer guides.
- Concurrent enrollment through Snow College, UVU, Utah State and Weber State, taught at Skyridge. Students apply to the college. The state's CE tuition rate is $5 per credit hour.
- UVU Digital Education, live interactive or online classes through UVU's Canvas.
- A UVU general education certificate or associate degree, for students who stack enough CE credit; start with UVU's concurrent enrollment advisor.
- UVU Empowered, for students in grades 9 to 11 interested in STEAM, business or education; applications open in spring 2027.
- UVU Excelerate, which the page describes as tuition-free summer classes for seniors who will enroll at UVU in fall 2027.
- SUU Early College Online, summer online courses at $75 per credit, grades 9 to 11.
- University of Utah HUSP, with GPA minimums of 3.2 for seniors, 3.5 for juniors and 3.7 for sophomores.
- Grand Canyon University dual enrollment, online at $52.50 per credit, for sophomores with a 3.25 GPA or juniors and seniors with a 3.0.
The cheapest route by far is CE at $5 a credit, which transfers cleanly to Utah's public colleges. AP travels better to out-of-state and private schools. The school's concurrent enrollment coordinator sits in the registrar's office, and the counseling site also has class pages for each grade, a course catalog, CTE pathways and NCAA eligibility rules.
Programs and student life
From the home page:
- The theater program, which bills itself as award-winning, with season tickets sold online.
- Marching band, with its own website.
- Sky Studios, the student media program behind FNN, The Ridge and The Nest.

Sports
Skyridge plays in 6A Region 3 with American Fork, Corner Canyon, Lehi and Lone Peak under the UHSAA's 2025-27 alignment.
The 2025-26 year, from the Lehi Free Press's year-end review, was one of the school's best: five state trophies, a fourth-place finish in the all-sports standings, and Region 3 titles in girls volleyball and girls lacrosse.
- Boys lacrosse won the 6A state title by a single goal and finished 18-2, the program's first.
- Second place at state went to girls volleyball (27-3), girls swimming (edging defending champion Lone Peak), girls lacrosse and baseball.
- Football, under coach Justin Hemm, went 9-3, tied for first in Region 3 and lost to Lone Peak 13-7 in the 6A semifinals.
- Both tennis teams placed third at state, and drill jumped from 16th to sixth.
- In fall 2026, football entered the 6A playoffs as the No. 1 seed and beat American Fork 28-21 in the quarterfinals, the American Fork Citizen reported.
Tickets: football, basketball, dances and other events sell through Vega, linked from the home page. The Lehi game is the city's rivalry. Our high school football guide and sports calendar cover the season.
Enrolling a new student
- Confirm your boundary on Alpine's school boundary dashboard; Skyridge and Lehi High split the city.
- Start on the counseling site's new student enrollment page, which walks through the forms. Students moving from another Alpine school use a school-to-school enrollment form.
- Bring documents: proof of residence, birth certificate, immunization records, and any transcripts or IEP.
- Call the registrars at (385) 579-6564 or counseling at (385) 579-6561. Counselors are assigned by last name; the counseling site lists who has which letters.
Families outside the boundary can request Skyridge through open enrollment, which Alpine handles through 2026-27 and Aspen Peaks from 2027-28. With Skyridge this full, ask early.
What parents ask
Skyridge or Lehi High? Your address decides, unless open enrollment approves a transfer. Skyridge covers north Lehi, including Traverse Mountain; Lehi High covers the older south side and part of Saratoga Springs. Our comparison has more.
Why the minimal day buses at 11:15? Minimal days, such as the end of a term, shorten each period to 40 minutes and end after an early lunch.
Does Skyridge have ninth grade? Eighty ninth-graders showed up in the state count, and the counseling site has a Class of 2030 page, but most Lehi ninth-graders are at Viewpoint Middle or Lehi Junior High.
Will Skyridge's region change? The current UHSAA alignment runs through 2026-27. Nobody knows the next one until the UHSAA sets it.
