There are 20 schools in the USA with the word benito in the name.

The word "Benito" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to the influence of historical figures, most notably Benito Juárez, a revered Mexican president and national hero. Juárez stands as a symbol of social justice, reform, and resilience, and his legacy is especially meaningful in regions with significant Hispanic and Latino populations, such as the Southwestern United States and Texas. Naming schools after Benito Juárez serves to honor both the cultural heritage and contributions of the Mexican-American community, fostering a sense of pride and representation. Additionally, educational institutions often choose names that inspire students and reflect core values such as perseverance, equality, and dedication to public service-qualities for which Juárez is widely celebrated throughout the Americas.
