There are 19 schools in the USA with the word grafton in the name.

The word "Grafton" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it often reflects the name of the community or town in which the school is located. Many American towns and cities bear the name Grafton, a name brought over from places in England during the colonial period, which was a common practice for settlers wanting to maintain a connection to their European heritage. As communities were established and grew, local schools were frequently named after their towns to foster a sense of regional identity and pride among students and residents. Using "Grafton" in school names helps tie educational institutions to their geographic location, serving as a marker of local history and continuity. This practice supports community cohesion, as generations of students and families come to associate the name with both their educational experiences and the broader history of their town.
