There are 5 schools in the USA with the word fannie in the name.

The word "Fannie" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it often honors women named Fannie who made significant contributions to local education or community development. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was not uncommon for schools, especially in the South and Midwest, to be named after influential women, such as teachers, philanthropists, or community leaders, as a form of recognition and respect. Naming a school after a respected local figure, such as Fannie Smith or Fannie Lou Hamer, helps to preserve their legacy and inspire future generations. Additionally, this practice reflects broader trends in American education to recognize the social and cultural impact of individuals who advocated for educational access and equity. The use of personal names in school naming also strengthens a sense of community identity and historical continuity.
