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

The word "oriole" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely because the oriole is the state bird of Maryland and also holds symbolic significance in other regions, particularly in the Midwest where the Baltimore Oriole and the Northern Oriole are frequently observed. The bird is admired for its vibrant orange and black plumage, which makes it an appealing and memorable mascot for schools, symbolizing qualities such as vitality, resilience, and a strong sense of community. Additionally, local wildlife and natural features often inspire school names, as educators and administrators aim to foster a sense of place and pride among students and the broader community. By naming schools after the oriole, institutions can cultivate a connection to regional identity and local natural history, contributing to educational themes centered on nature, environmental awareness, and regional heritage.
