With the success PLD has had in so many sports, and the MSTC, there have got to be more notable alums than just Mills and Burton! Cmadler 22:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dunbar schools
My neighbor grew up in Lexington, Ky and she told me that there was more than one Dunbar school in Kentucky and perhaps other states. Does the author have info about them.--Dakota ~ ° 05:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
- I know there are other schools called "Dunbar" around the country (this article makes reference to that fact in mentioning demographics), though I couldn't say specificaly where (I believe there is one in Chicago, there is probably one in Dunbar's home town of Dayton, OH) or what the full names of those schools are. I am not aware of any other schools called "Dunbar" in Kentucky - I am reasonably confident this is the only high school by that name in Kentucky, but I have no idea about middle and elementary schools. Another point is "Dunbar" v. "Paul Dunbar" v. "Paul Laurence Dunbar." The proper name of this school is "Paul Laurence Dunbar High School", while Lexington's all-black school was "Dunbar High School." In practice, however, this school is referred to as "Paul Laurence Dunbar", "PLD", and "Dunbar." The only reference I have found to this school as "Paul Dunbar" is on the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) website. I hope this answers your question.

[edit] Roster listing
I removed several sections of the Baseball section. This material may be appropriate in an article about PLD Baseball, but not in the main article about the school. PLD has taken many state championships in many areas(3 for soccer, 4 for marching band, many for the academic team) and even national championships (6 by the cheerleading squad), and listing the rosters for all of the championship teams would bloat this article beyond reason.

Removed text follows:
In the final against Louisville Male High School, Dunbar held Male to just 1 run while scoring 3.
2003 State Championship Roster: Drew Bennett, Matt Byzet, Craig Dunn, Dustin Morrow, Kevin Paddock, Rob Scott, Mark Wethington, Jeff Bracken, Kevin Branham, Cory Hager, Brett Hunt, Kent Kobayashi, David Lashbrook, Jonathan Miller, John O'Dea, Robby Ward, Boo Morrow, Robby Reeves, Davis Stanely, and Bobby Vyverberg
Other noteables of 2003, pitching staff ERA of 1.60 (first in state and school record). School Record 2.40 runs against. 91 doubles on the year (2nd in school history). Josh Ellis ERA of 0.72 (school record). Robby Reeves ERA of 0.94 (3rd in school history). Dustin Morrow ERA of 0.99. Matt Byzet record of 10-0. Dustin Morrow BA of .442. Robb Scott and Craig Dunn's 49 and 47 runs scored, consecutively.
[edit] Academic Team
The Dunbar academic team had a number of state and national successes in the late 90's-early 2000's. Seems like a section on non-athletic extramural activites including the academic team and other organizations e.g. speech, beta club, youth in government, and their successes would be appropriate?

- I agree. If you are familiar enough with this topic or can find adequate documentation, please write it; I am not able to do so. Cmadler 23:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Holy crap...
An edit was made to this page that wasn't juvenile vandalism.... I'm gobsmacked! --Scott Cranfill 22:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
