There are 36 schools in the USA with the word locust in the name.

The word "locust" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to both historical and geographic influences. In many regions of the United States, locust trees-such as the black locust or honey locust-are native and often abundant, making them a familiar part of the landscape. Early settlers and local communities frequently chose school names that reflected distinctive natural features or prominent plants in the area as a way to connect the institution to its local environment. Additionally, names referencing native flora evoke a sense of tradition and continuity, which can inspire community pride and a feeling of rootedness among students and residents. Over time, the use of the term "locust" in school names has become a lasting tradition, reflecting the enduring relationship between educational institutions and their surrounding natural geography.
