There are 28 schools in the USA with the word evers in the name.

The word "Evers" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a way to honor Medgar Evers, a prominent civil rights activist who played a significant role in the struggle for racial equality during the mid-20th century. Medgar Evers worked tirelessly to end segregation and advocate for voting rights for African Americans, particularly in the southern United States. Naming schools after him serves as a tribute to his legacy and as an educational reminder of the ongoing importance of civil rights and social justice. Additionally, these school names reflect a broader cultural effort to recognize individuals who have made lasting contributions to American society and to inspire students to learn about and uphold the values for which such figures stood.
