Lawrence Free State High School are known as the "Firebirds". Extracurricular activities are also offered in the form of performing arts, school publications, and clubs. Lawrence Free State was established in 1997 in response to overcrowding at Lawrence High School, the only public high school in Lawrence at the time. The College Board recognized Free State High with the 2007-08 Siemens Award for Advanced Placement participation and performance. One high school in each state receives this honor and a $1,000 grant for math and science education. The Firebirds compete in the Sunflower League and are classified as a 6A school, the largest classification in Kansas
Sunflower (mathematics) sunflower lemma, stating that if formula_40 and formula_41 are positive integers then a collection of formula_42 sets of cardinality at most formula_41 contains a sunflower with more than formula_40 sets. The sunflower conjecture is one of several variations of the conjecture of that the factor of formula_45 can be replaced by formula_46 for some constant formula_47. For formula_48 this is now known to be true, with constant formula_49. Sunflower (mathematics) In mathematics, a sunflower or formula_1-system is a collection of sets whose pairwise intersection is constant. This constant intersection is called the kernel of the sunflower. The main research question
