SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Dos Pueblos High School campus is holding a ribbon cutting ceremony for its new state-of-the-art Virgil Elings Media Arts and Communications Center on Tuesday.
Classes have already moved into the new building, which is part of a larger Career and Technical Education Hub on the south end of the Dos Pueblos campus.
The Dos Pueblos Media program serves hundreds of students each year, teaching Broadcast and Journalism classes, along with Yearbook.
Computer Science, Digital Arts, Photography, Graphics, and Animation classes are also taught in the building.
The facility allows all of the media arts pathway teachers to work together in the same facility with interconnected classrooms.
Teachers said they believe working in the same facility will provide a comprehensive media arts education to hundreds of students annually.
DP News, which is also a part of this facility, broadcasts a daily newscast to the campus each day. This newsteam also produces podcasts and publishes a student newspaper.
