Overview
Overview
The school's mascot is a Mustang and the school colors are royal blue and silver. Opened in 1981, Dobson sits on 84 acre of public land. The school is named after the Dobson family, who moved to the area in 1886 and established a large ranch which includes the land where the school is now located. In the 1986-87 school year, it was honored as a Blue Ribbon school. In 2009, President Barack Obama made a speech at the school, announcing a mortgage relief plan. Two episodes of MTV's Made have been filmed on campus. The current principal is Gabrielle Buckley (herself a graduate of Dobson, class of 1995.) Three assistant principals, Renee Regoli, Christina Sweador, and Jacob Fendley, comprise the rest of the administration.
