Opened in 1981, Dobson sits on 84 acres (340,000 m2) 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.[2]

In the 1986-87 school year, it was honored as a Blue Ribbon school.[3]

In 2009, President Barack Obama made a speech at the school, announcing a mortgage relief plan.[4]

Two episodes of MTV's Made have been filmed on campus.

The current principal is Gabrielle Buckley. Four assistant principals, Adam Malik, Patrick Bass, Christina R. Sweador, and Scott Mohn, comprise the rest of the administration.
