There are 19 schools in the USA with the word humboldt in the name.

The word "Humboldt" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the influence of Alexander von Humboldt, a renowned German naturalist and explorer whose scientific work significantly contributed to the understanding of geography, botany, and ecology in the 18th and 19th centuries. American educators and communities often named schools, towns, and counties after historical figures who embodied values of exploration, learning, and curiosity. Humboldt's legacy resonates with the educational mission to inspire discovery and respect for the natural world. Additionally, various regions across the United States, including California and Kansas, have geographic features such as rivers and counties named after Humboldt, further encouraging the use of his name for local institutions like public schools.
