There are 7 schools in the USA with the word rosenwald in the name.

The word "Rosenwald" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it honors Julius Rosenwald, a philanthropist and former president of Sears, Roebuck and Company. In the early 20th century, Rosenwald partnered with African American communities across the southern United States to fund the construction of thousands of schools for Black children at a time when educational opportunities were severely limited due to segregation. These schools, known as Rosenwald Schools, became vital centers of learning and community life for generations. As a result, many public schools retain the Rosenwald name to recognize his lasting impact on education and to commemorate a significant chapter in the struggle for educational equity in American history.
