Skyline High School is a secondary school in Dallas, Texas. It was the first high school in the United States to offer a magnet school curriculum.

Skyline serves grades 9 through 12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District.

According to the Dallas Independent School District Web site, Skyline "began with the shared visions of B.J. Stamps, the first high school principal, and Gene Davenport, the first Career Development Center Principal. They were very involved in all aspects of the school's planning process. During construction of the campus, they were surveying the most ambitious project in the history of the DISD. While discussing their future plans for the school, they stopped on the second floor hallway between the B building and the Main Building. As they stood looking out of the window, they could see the familiar view of the Dallas skyline. This was when they decided that Skyline would be the perfect name for the nation's first magnet school."
