There are 19 schools in the USA with the word norfolk in the name.

The word "Norfolk" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance. Many towns and counties across the United States are named Norfolk, a tradition that traces its roots back to the influence of English settlers who named new settlements after places in England, such as the county of Norfolk. These American communities often adopt the local geographic name for their public institutions, including schools, to foster a sense of local identity and pride. Additionally, naming schools after their cities or counties, such as Norfolk, helps establish a clear association with the community they serve and makes them easily recognizable within the region. This practice also honors the historical heritage of the area and reinforces connections to local history and culture within the educational environment.
