There are 17 schools in the USA with the word keene in the name.

The word "Keene" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools because it is often associated with towns or cities named Keene, which have a tradition of naming their educational institutions after the community they serve. Many American towns named Keene trace their namesakes back to historical figures, such as Simon Keene, or are derived from English place names, reflecting the heritage of early settlers. Schools typically adopt the name of their locality to foster a sense of community identity and pride, making "Keene" a frequent choice in areas where it is part of the town or city name. This practice helps to create a strong link between the school and its surrounding community, strengthening local ties and promoting a shared sense of belonging among students and residents. In addition, naming schools after their geographic location simplifies identification and administration for both families and educational authorities.
