There are 21 schools in the USA with the word loch in the name.

The word "loch," which is the Scottish Gaelic term for "lake," is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to historical and geographic influences. Many areas in the United States with lakes or bodies of water have adopted the word "loch" in place names, reflecting the heritage of Scottish and Irish immigrants who settled in these regions. The use of "loch" in school names serves to acknowledge and celebrate this cultural legacy, connecting the community to its historical roots. Additionally, naming a school after a local geographic feature such as a "loch" helps establish a strong sense of place and identity for students and residents. This practice underscores the importance of the natural environment and regional history in the educational experience, fostering local pride and community cohesion.
