Dahlberg began a career as a coach at the high school level, starting out at Miles City High School in Miles City, Montana in 1925 as head coach for basketball and football. His four years at the school brought several district titles in both sports, winning basketball and football state championships in 1928. He went to Hoquiam, Washington in 1929 continuing his dual coaching roles, spending two years and winning a district title in basketball. After a year in Anaconda, Montana, with another basketball district championship achieved with a team of sophomores, he then spent four years as the head football coach at Puyallup High School. Dahlberg's coaching led to Puyallup winning a league championship in 1935. Before moving on to begin his college coaching career, he spent the 1936-1937 school year leading the basketball and football program at Chehalis High School where he was also named as the athletic director.[2] [3]
