Registration is now open for Project IGNITE.  Our summer STEM camp open to all students currently in grades 3 - 5 taking place at Ashland Middle School June 17-21, 2019.  The focus this summer will be “AQUATIC ADVENTURES”!  Students will spend four exhilarating days rotating through five learning activities designed to peak interest and explore the wonders of the world of WATER.  The week will conclude with a field trip to the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY. Students won’t want to miss this opportunity to build “fin”tastic new skills that “ignite” ingenuity.

The Kentucky Family Resource Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) strive to remove barriers in the lives of students to help them reach their full potential by relieving stressors that could be impacting their academic performance. Since opening in the early 1990s, Ashland Youth Services Center (AYSC) took care of the nearly 1700 students at both Ashland Middle School (AMS) and Paul Blazer High School (PBHS) under one grant with staff at both schools under one coordinator. In the late spring of 2018, the State of Kentucky offered to fund Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSC) for schools that did not have one and to fund stand-alone FRYSC covering multiple schools that were able to show student need. AYSC applied for the grant and was approved for reconfiguration, giving both PBHS and AMS stand-alone Youth Services Centers.

Mark your calendars.  The last day for students for the 2018-19 school year is Thursday, May 23, 2019.  Paul G. Blazer High School Senior Graduation will take place that evening.  A copy of the revised district calendar can be found at the top of the page under OUR DISTRICT.
