There are 8 schools in the USA with the word shaker in the name.

The word "Shaker" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance connected to the Shaker religious community, which settled in various parts of the United States, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest. The Shakers, officially known as the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, were known for their commitment to education, innovation, and community-oriented living. Many towns and regions where Shaker communities thrived retained the name "Shaker" in local place names, reflecting their enduring influence. As a result, schools established in these areas often adopted the term to honor the Shakers' contributions to education, craftsmanship, and the ethical values they espoused. This naming tradition serves as a way to recognize and preserve an important part of local and American heritage.
