There are 9 schools in the USA with the word columbine in the name.

The word "columbine" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it refers to a type of native wildflower, the columbine, which is particularly associated with regions in the western United States, such as Colorado where it is the state flower. Schools often choose names that reflect local natural features, plants, or symbols in order to foster a sense of community and regional pride. Additionally, naming schools after native flora is seen as a way to inspire appreciation for the natural environment and to encourage students to learn about local history and geography. As a result, "columbine" has become a popular and enduring choice for educational institutions, especially in areas where the flower holds cultural or historical significance.
