There are 6 schools in the USA with the word adobe in the name.

The word "adobe" is commonly found in U.S. public school names, particularly in the southwestern states, due to its strong historical and cultural connections to the region. Adobe refers to a type of building material made from earth, water, and organic materials like straw, which was widely used by Native American and early Spanish settlers to construct homes, missions, and public buildings. By including "adobe" in school names, communities acknowledge and honor the architectural traditions and the cultural heritage that have shaped the identity of areas such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and California. This naming choice serves as a reminder of the region's geographic characteristics and its deep-rooted relationship with Indigenous and Hispanic histories. Additionally, it reflects a sense of place and continuity, linking present-day educational institutions to the unique environmental and historical background of their surroundings.
