There are 37 schools in the USA with the word plum in the name.

The word "plum" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to historical and geographic factors. Many schools are named after local features, and "plum" often refers to the plum trees or wild plums that were abundant in certain areas as early settlers spread across the country. The presence of these native plants frequently influenced the naming of towns, streets, and, by extension, schools. Naming schools after local flora contributes to a sense of community identity and reflects the natural heritage of the region. Additionally, using such names can foster a connection between students and their local environment, providing educational opportunities to learn about regional history and ecology. Schools often retain these traditional names as a way of honoring their local heritage and maintaining continuity with the past.
