There are 56 schools in the USA with the word diego in the name.

The word "Diego" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to the historical and cultural influence of Spanish explorers and settlers in regions of the country that were once part of Spanish territories, particularly in California. The name "Diego" is most notably associated with San Diego, a major city that was named in honor of Saint Didacus of Alcalá, known in Spanish as San Diego. As a result, many educational institutions in and around the city adopt the name to reflect their local heritage and geographic identity. Additionally, the inclusion of "Diego" in school names often serves to recognize the region's multicultural roots and the contributions of Hispanic communities to its history and culture. This practice helps foster a sense of community and continuity by linking present-day institutions to the area's historical past.
