Smithson Valley High School (commonly referred to as SVHS) is a public high school located in unincorporated Comal County, Texas, and is classified as a 5A school by the UIL. It is part of the Comal Independent School District and is one of the five out of seven traditional high schools within the district. As of the 2025–2026 school year, enrollment is 2,118. Smithson Valley’s student enrollment reached as high as 2,584 in the 2021-22 school year before some students were sent off to the brand-new and recently opened Pieper High School after the 2021-22 school year which was built to deal with the growing population of the school’s attendance zone and to provide relief to Smithson Valley's attendance roster.

Smithson Valley High School is zoned for students who live primarily in the southwestern of Comal County area, northern Bexar County area, and portions of Kendall County including the majority of Bulverde, Spring Branch, Smithson Valley, portions of Boerne, and portions of Canyon Lake. In 2015, the school was rated "Met Standard" by the Texas Education Agency.
