There are 15 schools in the USA with the word ringgold in the name.

The word "Ringgold" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily because it honors Major Samuel Ringgold, a distinguished officer in the United States Army during the Mexican-American War. Samuel Ringgold's bravery and innovative tactics in artillery earned him national recognition, and after his death in 1846, communities across the country named towns, counties, and institutions in his memory. As a result, many schools located in these regions adopted the name "Ringgold" to reflect local history and instill a sense of civic pride. The widespread use of his name also underscores the broader American tradition of commemorating military leaders and significant historical figures in public institutions, including schools. By bearing the name "Ringgold," these schools highlight their connection to both local heritage and national history.
