There are 13 schools in the USA with the word castro in the name.

The word "Castro" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools due to its historical and geographic significance, particularly in areas with strong Spanish or Mexican heritage. "Castro" is a Spanish surname that traces back to influential figures in early California history, such as José Castro, a prominent Californio military and political leader during the Mexican era. Many places, streets, and institutions in California and the American Southwest bear the Castro name as a recognition of the region's rich Hispanic legacy and the important contributions of early settlers and leaders with that name. By naming schools "Castro," communities honor and preserve this cultural and historical connection, fostering local pride and awareness of the area's diverse roots. This practice reflects a broader trend in the United States of using school names to commemorate significant people, events, or cultural influences that have shaped local history and identity.
