There are 66 schools in the USA with the word henderson in the name.

The word "Henderson" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely because it is a widespread surname and geographic designation in the United States. Many schools are named after prominent local figures, early settlers, educators, or politicians who carried the Henderson name and contributed to the development of their communities. Additionally, several towns and counties across the nation are named Henderson, often after historical individuals like Richard Henderson, a colonial-era judge and land speculator who played a significant role in early American expansion. As a result, it is natural for schools in these areas to adopt the name as well, reflecting both local heritage and a tradition of honoring influential people from American history. This practice helps preserve local history and foster a sense of community identity among students and residents.
