Paul G. Blazer High School is a public high school located in Ashland, Kentucky. It is part of the Ashland Independent school district. Blazer replaced the former Ashland High School in 1963. For this reason, Blazer is still commonly referred to as simply "Blazer" by local residents, or "Ashland-Blazer" in publications about the school. Blazer is designed in a campus-style layout with seven buildings. This is unique among high schools in the region, as most consist of one single building. In 2011 the campus completed its renovation, which in most students eyes lessened the natural feel of the open campus by removing many of the trees that were in the open circle of campus. New grass was added and three of the seven buildings were repaired heavily. The next round of renovations plan to include the Art, Shop, and Theater facilities once the budget allows.
