There are 14 schools in the USA with the word pecan in the name.

The word "pecan" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its strong association with the natural and cultural heritage of certain regions, especially in the southern United States. Pecan trees are native to North America and have played an important role in the history and economy of states such as Texas, Georgia, and Louisiana. Naming schools after local flora, such as the pecan tree, reflects a community's connection to its environment and often serves to instill local pride and identity among students. Additionally, pecan trees are long-lived and resilient, qualities that schools may wish to symbolize as foundational values for their educational mission. By choosing a familiar and meaningful local name, schools also help foster a sense of belonging and continuity within the community.
