Sylvan Hills High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school located in the city of Sherwood, Arkansas, United States, serving grades nine through twelve. Sylvan Hills is one of four high schools administered by the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD). Prior to 1956, Sylvan Hills School instructed students through grade nine until local citizens gathered to approve expanding the school to a senior high, resulting in its first graduating class in 1959. Then, because of the increasing population in the surrounding communities, the school moved to its current campus adjacent to its former facilities starting in the 1968–69 school year.
In 2021, Sylvan Hills was ranked at No. 129 in the state and No. 7,757 in the U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools report.
As of 2022, Sylvan Hills High's varsity sports teams have won 24 state championships across nine sports teams, primarily in baseball and girls’ track and field.
