Our school is named after the 19th-century African-American poet; it also pays tribute to the historically African-American high school that was once the heart of downtown Lexington and had a rich tradition of excellence and high expectations. The current Paul Laurence Dunbar High, which opened in 1990, also houses a Math, Science & Technology Center.

What makes our school special

We're one of the largest schools in the state, but parents, students and staff say Paul Laurence Dunbar feels like a small school because of the close relationships. We go to great lengths to ensure that students feel warm and welcome. Dunbar also has a reputation for excellence across a broad range of programs - not only academics and athletics, but also community service and the performing arts.
