There are 32 schools in the USA with the word santo in the name.

The word "santo," which means "saint" in Spanish, is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the country's historical and geographic connections to Spanish colonization and influence, particularly in the Southwest and California. Many places in these regions were named by Spanish settlers and missionaries, who often dedicated towns, rivers, and missions to Catholic saints. As communities developed around these historic sites, the names were carried over to local institutions, including schools. The continued use of "santo" in school names reflects the enduring cultural and historical impact of Spanish and Mexican heritage in these areas. Additionally, incorporating such names helps preserve the legacy and identity of the region's original settlers and their traditions.
