OUR CHALLENGE

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 2,000 students in grades 9-12, consisting of 46% Hispanic, 41% White, 7% Asian, 2% African American, and 4% other races. In 2021, approximately 38% 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.

This year, the Dos Pueblos High School Foundation is hosting two fundraisers: the Charger Champions Annual Fund and the DPHS Foundation Round-up. We need your help and support to make these programs successful.

CHARGER CHAMPIONS CIRCLE

The Dos Pueblos High School Foundation Charger Champions Circle is our annual giving program, which helps support the school’s overall needs, which vary year to year. Funds raised by the Foundation serve the gap between the amount the State of California and the Santa Barbara Unified School District allocate to DPHS, and the actual yearly operating income needed to sustain DPHS’s academic success and facilities operations.

The 2022-2023 Impact Project is the new DPHS Wellness Center. Money raised through the annual fund with support this initiative.

The vision for the new Wellness Center is to provide a safe place for students to go when they are feeling anxious, stressed or in need of social and emotional support. The space will centralize our various mental health professionals, provide information to students and families on the referral process, highlight our community agency partners, and provide meeting space for wellness groups and group therapy. Drop-In support will be made available. Students can also use the Center for a myriad of support needs including food insecurity, school supplies, and mental health awareness and support.

That’s where we need YOU! To support the Charger Champions Circle, please consider giving a gift because every gift, no matter how large or small, will make a difference to DPHS! Our hope is that all of the DPHS families, staff, and alumni participate in the Charger Champions Circle in some way. Together, we can make the difference!
