Lawrence High School is one of the two public high schools located in Lawrence, Kansas. The school originated from an 1857 "Quincy School", held in the basement of a unitarian church. Three years later the city of Lawrence chartered a public school system, which was located at 15th and Massachusetts, presently Central Junior High School. The construction of the building for the school was completed in 1865.
Sports: Currently Lawrence High has over 100 state championships, one of the highest totals in the nation. The Lawrence High School Chesty Lions have 31 undefeated football seasons, the most in the United States.
Cross Country: The Lawrence High cross country team had a surge where it was seen as a power in the Kansas Cross Country scene. Beginning in 1997 when Chris Williams won the individual title. However, the team finished in 5th place. In 1998 the team finished a distant second place to Shawnee Mission Northwest High School, who has won each team title since 1994. While Williams defended his individual state championship. In 1999, Williams won his 3rd consecutive individual championship, and the LHS team again placed second to SMNW. The team suffered a meltdown in the 2000 state meet and placed 9th. In 2001, the LHS team placed second to SMNW again, narrowing the margin to 12 points, while Dylan McClain was the top finisher (2nd place). After a 2002 regular season where LHS had been ranked above SMNW, the Lions finished 7 points short to claim another second place trophy.
