There are 90 schools in the USA with the word highlands in the name.

The word "highlands" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it often reflects the geographic features of the area where a school is located. Many communities across the United States are situated in or near elevated regions, hills, or plateaus, which are locally referred to as "highlands." Naming a school after these features not only provides a sense of place but also helps foster local pride by connecting the institution to its natural landscape. Additionally, the word "highlands" may evoke notions of aspiration, elevation, and striving for academic success, which are desirable qualities for an educational environment. Furthermore, the historical use of the term in American towns and neighborhoods contributes to its prevalence in school names, as schools frequently adopt names that reflect the identity and history of their surrounding communities.
