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

The word "Gary" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to historical and geographic reasons. Many schools bearing the name "Gary" are located in or near the city of Gary, Indiana, a city that became well-known during the early 20th century for its rapid growth as a center of the steel industry. The city itself was named after Elbert H. Gary, the founding chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, reflecting his influence on the region's development. As the city expanded, numerous schools and public buildings adopted the name to signify their connection to the community and its legacy. Over time, the name "Gary" has come to represent not only a geographic location but also a broader sense of local pride and historical significance within the region.
