Paul Laurence Dunbar (PLD) is a high school located at 1600 Man o' War Boulevard on the southwest side of Lexington, Kentucky, United States. The school is one of six high schools in the Fayette County Public Schools district.
Paul Laurence Dunbar High School is named after the 19th century African-American poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose parents were from Kentucky. The school was opened in 1990. With an enrollment of over 2100, it is one of the largest public high schools in Kentucky, and was the largest during the 2005–06, 2006–07, and 2007–08 academic years. It also houses the Math, Science, and Technology Center. The PLD student body, unlike that of most of the other schools named after Dunbar,[citation needed] has a substantial white majority, although African Americans and Hispanics make up roughly one sixth of the students.
