The Dos Pueblos High School Foundation was formed in 2016 to support the educational pursuits of students at Dos Pueblos High School, a public high school in Goleta, California.
The DPHS Foundation is committed to helping raise needed funds to continue to improve the public high school experience and to help bridge the gap between public school funding and the true cost of a comprehensive and high-quality education.
Dos Pueblos High School is highly regarded for its academic programs, which include Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, Dual Enrollment (in partnership with Santa Barbara City College), English Learner, Career Technical Education, Honors, and Special Education courses. DPHS serves a diverse population of over 2,100 students in grades 9-12, consisting of 44.8% Hispanic, 40% White, 5.7% Asian, .8% African American, and 8.7% other races. In 2024, approximately 46.5% of DPHS students are identified as socioeconomically disadvantaged.
The reality is that the cost of living in Goleta/Santa Barbara is 98% higher than the national average, and 41% higher than the State of California average, leaving many DPHS families struggling to provide even minimal educational opportunities for their children. Support from families, alumni, and the business community is critical to ensuring students, teachers, and staff have the tools they need for success inside and outside the classroom, and that our students continue to experience the nationally recognized academic excellence provided at DPHS.
