There are 16 schools in the USA with the word hector in the name.

The word "Hector" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to geographic and historical factors. Many towns and communities across the United States have been named "Hector," often after early settlers, prominent local figures, or places from classical literature, specifically drawing from the heroic figure Hector of ancient Troy. Naming schools after the town or community they serve is a traditional practice, which helps to foster a sense of local identity and pride. Additionally, using the name Hector in schools may also reflect cultural influences, as classical names have long been esteemed in educational settings for their association with virtues such as courage, leadership, and honor. This confluence of local history and cultural heritage explains the prevalence of the name Hector in the naming of public schools.
