Located adjacent to the foothills on the edge of the Goleta Valley in an area known as El Encanto Heights, it serves a student body of approximately 2,300 in grades 9-12.

The school has undergone recent renovations including finishing of the football stadium, as well as the building of a Broadway-sized theater, an Olympic size pool, and a 12,000-square-foot (1,100 m2) engineering facility.

[3] Dos Pueblos is home to the Engineering Academy; the majority of students participate in a curriculum that includes vocational, college preparation, and Advanced Placement courses.

During their senior year, students design a mechatronics art installation for display in the Bay Area Maker Faire.

[4][5] The Dos Pueblos mock trial program gained prominence in 1984, winning the California state championship in that year and again in 1987.

Under coach Bill Woodard (2008–2014), Dos Pueblos won Santa Barbara County titles in 2009, '10, '11 (tied with San Marcos High School), '12, and '13 and finished 13th, 5th, 8th, 2nd, and 9th at state respectively.

In April 2010, Dos Pueblos finished 13th in the nation after making it into the "Sweet 16" in the U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl competition in Washington, D.C. United States Secretary of Energy Steven Chu presented the award of a $1,000 check to the Dos Pueblos High School team, including captain Ilan Goodman, Nicholas Su, Sean Risser, Felix Li, Anjian Wu and Coach Chris Jones.

Our Orange County champions (all juniors) are, Philip A. Bildner (Cal-Berkeley), Da-bin Ryu (Harvard), Nick Su (Stanford), and Anjian Wu (Caltech).

Students work as staff members and editors to produce an annual yearbook on Jostens, an online publication platform.

[17] The Dos Pueblos Theatre Company, formerly[18] run by Emily Libera,[19] challenges its participants and audiences to think, dream and live creatively through visionary programming, collaboration with leading resident theater companies and colleges, ongoing community outreach, interaction with professional artists and unique performance opportunities for all levels and interests.

Students can participate directly in creating brand-new work, gaining invaluable insights into writing, rewriting, professional theater rehearsal processes, and character interpretation.

Of particular note is Holiday Package, an annual show written, directed, and produced by students in a format similar to Saturday Night Live.

The show is also famous for its Jingle Bell Jocks, where upper-class students dance in humorous attire to popular Christmas music.

As well as the Holiday Package, an "Open Mic Night" is hosted on stage about once or twice a semester, featuring student performances of skits or songs and dance.

They are one of the 5 high schools in the country to pilot Disney Shows such as Tarzan, Mary Poppins, Peter and the Star Catcher, and most recently Newsies.

Shows not produced as Disney pilots include Alice in Wonderland, Legally Blonde, In the Heights, Hello, Dolly!, Annie, The Addams Family, The Music Man, and Anything Goes.

Previous shows have included "Synergy," "Through the Veil of Night", "An American Portrait", "Flight", The Incredibles, The Phantom of the Opera, Grease, and Les Misérables.

In 2007 the Dos Pueblos Marching Chargers also won sweepstakes with their show "An American Portrait", beating 17 other bands at the Royal Competition in October.

However, in 2021, students were able to return to in-person school, which lead to the marching band to work on their show entitled "Heroes of a Forgotten Fall", written by Lozell Henderson.

A few students in this band even take on the responsibility of producing the annual Dos Pueblos High School Jazz Festival, which will be in its 40th year in March 2009.

Sight-reading, vocal techniques such as proper breathing, diction, tone quality, blend and pitch will be skills gained and honed.

They not only perform in the Winter and Spring Vocal Music Concerts but have also been asked to record songs at a professional studio in Santa Barbara.

Dos Pueblos is probably best known for their excellent Girls Water Polo Program, which has won 5 CIF titles in the past 15 years and produced three Olympic Gold Medalists.

The 2017 Charger football team managed to make it to the CIF Southern Section Division 10 Finals, losing to Quartz Hill and finishing with a record 12-2 season.

Coach Hug lead the Chargers to a Channel League title in 2016 behind the left arm of Eli Wopat, who played at Stanford University on the men's volleyball team.

[32] [33] In 2021-22, both the boys and girls teams qualified for the state tournament, cementing their status as the best cross-country programs in the Santa Barbara area.

In 2013, four-year varsity ace, Gabe Speier was drafted in the 18th round by the Boston Red Sox, passing on his full-time offer to nationally ranked UCSB.
