There are 18 schools in the USA with the word patricia in the name.

The word "Patricia" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to the tradition of naming educational institutions after influential local figures, community leaders, or donors who have made significant contributions to education or the local community. In some cases, schools are named for notable women or saints, and "Patricia" is a name with historical and cultural significance, particularly within communities with strong Catholic or Hispanic influences where Saint Patricia is venerated. Additionally, the name can reflect a desire to honor individuals who represent educational values such as leadership, compassion, or dedication to learning. Such naming conventions help to preserve local history and foster a sense of community pride, encouraging current students to connect with the values and accomplishments of those for whom their schools are named. This practice is a longstanding tradition in the United States, reflecting both the diversity and the heritage of various regions across the country.
