There are 28 schools in the USA with the word social in the name.

The word "social" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects the historical and educational emphasis on community engagement and collective responsibility. Many schools were established as centers for not only academic learning but also for teaching the values of citizenship, cooperation, and civic duty. Additionally, the inclusion of "social" often signals a focus on social sciences, social studies, or the development of social skills, which are essential for participating in a democratic society. In some regions, the naming tradition may also be linked to movements in the early 20th century that aimed to address social issues and promote public welfare through education. As a result, the word "social" in school names underscores the broader goal of preparing students to contribute positively to their communities.
