There are 23 schools in the USA with the word harlan in the name.

The word "Harlan" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to its connection to significant historical figures and places in American history. For example, Harlan County in Kentucky is well known for its role in the labor movement and coal mining heritage, making the name culturally and historically meaningful in certain regions. Additionally, individuals such as John Marshall Harlan, who served as a distinguished Supreme Court Justice, have contributed to the name's prominence, as educational institutions often honor influential national figures. The recurring use of "Harlan" in school names can also be attributed to local pride, as communities frequently name schools after places or people who have shaped their regional identity and values. This tradition reflects a broader national practice of using school names to recognize history, heritage, and notable contributors to society.
