There are 63 schools in the USA with the word environmental in the name.

The word "environmental" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because of a growing societal emphasis on environmental awareness and education, especially since the late 20th century. Historically, movements such as Earth Day and the rise of environmental science as a discipline have increased the public's desire for education systems to address ecological issues and sustainability. Geographically, schools in regions with notable natural resources or unique ecosystems often highlight "environmental" in their names to reflect the local environment and promote stewardship. Culturally, there is an increasing recognition of the importance of teaching students about conservation, climate change, and the human impact on the planet, which has influenced schools to adopt names that reflect these educational priorities. These naming choices often signal a curriculum focus that integrates the natural sciences, outdoor learning, and ecological responsibility.
