The Dos Pueblos High School wrestling program invites all alumni and community supporters to celebrate its legacy at a special Alumni Night on January 15, 2025.
This event, held during a home dual meet against Santa Barbara High School, marks a significant milestone with the rededication of the Wrestling Room Wall of Fame.
Event Highlights

- Post-Dual Wall of Fame Ceremony: Celebrate the legacy of Dos Pueblos Wrestling with the rededication of the Wall of Fame, now updated for the first time since 2017. This update adds 35 honorees from 2017-2024 and includes corrections to existing plaques, honoring approximately 186 wrestlers who have left their mark since 1973.
The Wall of Fame rededication ensures that all Dos Pueblos wrestlers who have achieved league championships, CIF honors, Masters accolades, and State placements are recognized for their contributions to the program’s storied history.
“This program is about more than wrestling—it’s about building community and shaping resilient leaders,” said Head Coach Matthew Bernard. “The Wall of Fame stands as a testament to generations of athletes who’ve embodied perseverance, discipline, and excellence.”
The event is open to all alumni, current wrestling families, and friends of the program. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour the wrestling room and connect with past and present team members.
It will be live-streamed on NFHS at https://www.nfhsnetwork.com/events/dos-pueblos-high-school-goleta-ca/gama09327aaed and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/live/SmFX0hWyyMc.
