There are 50 schools in the USA with the word sheridan in the name.

The word "Sheridan" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its association with General Philip Sheridan, a prominent Union general during the American Civil War. He became a national figure known for his leadership and military accomplishments, and many communities chose to honor his legacy by naming streets, towns, and institutions after him, including schools. In addition to his military contributions, the name "Sheridan" often appears in geographic locations across the country, which further leads to its use in naming local schools. This tradition reflects a broader cultural tendency in the United States to commemorate historical figures, particularly those seen as playing significant roles in shaping the nation's history, through the naming of educational institutions.
