Santa Barbara Unified Cheers Dos Pueblos’ New Engineering Academy

Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) celebrated the grand opening of a new Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA) facility, the Virgil Elings Center for Creative Learning, on Nov. 12. The event marks a milestone in expanding hands-on career preparation for local students, SBUSD officials said. The facility provides state-of-the-art environments modeled after professional workplaces where students can design, build, test, and refine complex projects. The project is part of a districtwide effort to bridge classroom instruction with college and career readiness across all high schools, the district said. “Dos Pueblos is proud to celebrate this new facility and all of our Career Technical Education programs,” DPHS Principal Bill Woodard said. “They provide opportunities for students to gain valuable experience in career fields they are passionate about to discover what they want to pursue,” he said.
