There are 11 schools in the USA with the word animas in the name.

The word "animas" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its historical and geographic significance, especially in the southwestern United States. "Animas" is derived from Spanish, meaning "souls," and is often associated with places such as the Animas River and Animas Valley in Colorado and New Mexico. These locations were named by early Spanish explorers and settlers, reflecting the region's deep cultural and linguistic ties to Spanish and Native American heritage. As schools often adopt names from local landmarks or historical figures, the use of "animas" in school names helps preserve and honor the unique cultural legacy of the area. Additionally, incorporating such names fosters a sense of identity and connection to local history within the school community.
