There are 5 schools in the USA with the word manila in the name.

The word "Manila" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to its historical and geographic significance. Many towns and cities across the United States are named "Manila," often in commemoration of the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898, which was a pivotal victory for the United States. As these communities developed, schools naturally adopted the name of the town or city they served, resulting in numerous "Manila" schools. Additionally, the use of city or town names for public institutions is a longstanding tradition in American education, helping to foster local identity and community pride. This practice ensures that "Manila" remains a familiar term in the context of school names in various regions across the country.
