Shelby Valley High School (SVHS) is a public high school located in Pike County, Kentucky, United States. The school campus is situated on flat land in the rugged mountains of eastern Kentucky. There are 597 students currently enrolled in grades 9–12. Located approximately ten miles south of Pikeville on US 23, the school receives students from three elementary schools and two middle schools.
In 1990, school administrators decided to merge two local schools, Dorton High School and Virgie High School, which had both been in existence for several decades, into one. Twenty million dollars was spent on the undertaking.
