There are 65 schools in the USA with the word irving in the name.

The word "Irving" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools due to the influence of Washington Irving, a prominent 19th-century American author best known for works such as "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Schools are often named after notable figures in history and literature to honor their contributions to American culture and education. Washington Irving's impact on American literature and his role in shaping national identity make his name a fitting choice for educational institutions. Additionally, the city of Irving, Texas-named after the author-is home to many schools that carry the name, further contributing to its prevalence. As a result, "Irving" serves as both a tribute to a literary figure and a reflection of the geographic locations that bear his name.
