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

The word "muir" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a tribute to John Muir, a renowned naturalist, writer, and conservationist who played a significant role in the development of the national parks system. His advocacy for preserving the American wilderness, particularly in California, left a lasting impact on environmental education and public awareness. Many schools honor his legacy to inspire students to appreciate and protect natural resources, as well as to promote environmental stewardship. Geographically, the prevalence of "muir" in school names is most pronounced in regions influenced by his work, such as California, but his significance as a pioneering figure in conservation has made his name nationally recognized in educational settings.
