There are 11 schools in the USA with the word licking in the name.

The word "Licking" appears in many U.S. public school names primarily due to geographic and historical factors. The name is most often connected to locations such as Licking County in Ohio, the Licking River in Kentucky and Ohio, or towns named Licking in states like Missouri. These places were often named in the 18th or 19th centuries after natural salt licks found in the area, which attracted wildlife and became notable landmarks for early settlers. As communities developed, schools were commonly named after these local features or the towns themselves in order to reflect their connection to the regional heritage. Over time, the continued use of "Licking" in school names helps maintain a sense of identity and historical continuity within those communities.
