There are 28 schools in the USA with the word pershing in the name.

The word "Pershing" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its association with General John J. Pershing, a prominent figure in American military history. General Pershing served as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I and became a national symbol of leadership, discipline, and service. Naming schools after him reflects a tradition of honoring national heroes who embody values that are important to the educational mission, such as courage, dedication, and patriotism. Additionally, using historically significant names in schools helps foster a sense of community heritage and encourages students to learn about their country's past. This practice is part of a broader effort to inspire civic pride and awareness in young learners.
