There are 31 schools in the USA with the word stanton in the name.

The word "Stanton" is commonly found in the names of public schools across the United States largely due to its association with significant historical figures, most notably Edwin M. Stanton, who served as Secretary of War under President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. Schools are often named to honor individuals who have made important contributions to the nation's history or to their local communities, and Stanton's leadership during a pivotal moment in American history makes him a frequent namesake. Additionally, in some regions, schools may be named after local landmarks, towns, or early settlers bearing the Stanton surname, reflecting the geographic and cultural heritage of the area. This practice helps to instill a sense of pride and connection to both local and national history within the school community.
