There are 31 schools in the USA with the word paso in the name.

The word "paso," meaning "pass" in Spanish, is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the strong historical and geographical ties between many regions of the United States and Spanish language and culture. In states like Texas, California, and New Mexico, where Spanish explorers and settlers played a significant role in early history, many cities, landmarks, and neighborhoods still bear Spanish names, making "paso" a familiar term within local geography (such as El Paso). Additionally, large communities of Spanish-speaking residents in these areas help preserve the use of Spanish in public spaces, including schools. The presence of "paso" in school names reflects a recognition of regional heritage and serves to honor the cultural diversity of these communities. Including Spanish terms in school names also supports inclusivity for students and families with Hispanic backgrounds, strengthening connections between educational institutions and their local populations.
