There are 29 schools in the USA with the word paint in the name.

The word "paint" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it often reflects historical or geographic connections to a local area. Many schools are named after nearby natural features such as hills, creeks, or towns, and the term "paint" can refer to local landmarks, such as Paint Creek or Paint Valley, which were often named by early settlers or Indigenous peoples. These features might have been named for the colorful soils, minerals, or rock markings found in the landscape, which were sometimes used as pigments or had cultural significance. Additionally, incorporating local place names in school names fosters a sense of community identity and pride, helping students connect to the history and geography of their region. As a result, the presence of "paint" in school names highlights a tradition of honoring local heritage and the environment.
