There are 96 schools in the USA with the word howard in the name.

The word "Howard" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its association with important historical figures and institutions in American history. One significant influence is General Oliver Otis Howard, a Union Army officer and commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War, who played a major role in promoting education for African Americans; Howard University in Washington, D.C., is named after him, further cementing the name's educational legacy. Additionally, the surname "Howard" is relatively common and can be tied to influential local leaders or benefactors in various communities, leading to numerous schools being named in their honor. The repetition of "Howard" in school names also reflects the broader tradition in the U.S. of commemorating individuals whose contributions to society, education, or local development are valued. This practice helps instill a sense of history, pride, and continuity within the school communities that bear the name.
