Blevins, age 83, of Milbourne Avenue in East Liverpool, Ohio, who had previously served as the superintendent of Wellsville Public Schools, passed away on Wednesday, December 7th, 2022 at the East Liverpool City Hospital after falling ill unexpectedly at home. Mr. Blevins had previously served as the superintendent of Wellsville Public Schools. Before he was born on March 21, 1939 in East Liverpool, Ohio, his parents, Lantford “Slim” and Gertrude Moses Blevins, both passed away. He was their son.
His name was Slim Blevins. Paul had spent his entire life in this region and attended East Liverpool High School, from which he graduated in 1957 along with the rest of his class. After that, he continued his education by earning a Master of Arts in Education degree from Youngstown State University. After that, he continued his education at Ohio University. During his time in the Army of the United States of America, he had spent some time stationed in Germany.
In 1998, he decided to take his retirement from the Wellsville Public School System, where he had previously worked as the principal of the high school, the principal of Garfield Elementary (which Paul considers to be the best elementary school in the western hemisphere), and then as the School Superintendent. He had held these positions over the course of his career. Throughout his whole career, he has held each of these roles. In the past, he worked for the East Liverpool Police Department as a law enforcement officer, in addition to his 43 years of experience as a professor at Kent State University.
