In honor of the memory of longtime coach, teacher and athletic director Scott O’Leary, who worked at Dos Pueblos High School for 34 years and who touched countless lives with his ethos of hard work, discipline and dedication to student athletics, the Goleta City Council has proclaimed Friday, Oct. 9 as Scott O’ Leary Day in the city of Goleta.
“Scott O’Leary was a great man and great coach. He was a tremendous influence to many generations both on and off the field,” Mayor Roger Aceves said. “It is fitting that the new Dos Pueblos High School football stadium is being named after Scott O’Leary. In the same way that Coach O embodied the values of hard work, determination and enthusiasm for the love of sports, so, too, does the new stadium represent years of hard work and determination by countless individuals. It is a fitting tribute.”
Scott O’Leary Stadium will be officially dedicated at 7 p.m. Friday before the football game between Dos Pueblos and Rio Mesa High School.
