There are 37 schools in the USA with the word thurgood in the name.

The word "Thurgood" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a tribute to Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice. Marshall is celebrated for his pivotal role in the civil rights movement and his leadership as the lead attorney in the historic Brown v. Board of Education case, which led to the desegregation of public schools in the United States. Schools bearing his name aim to honor his legacy, promote values of equality and justice, and inspire students with his story of perseverance and achievement. Naming schools after Thurgood Marshall serves as a reminder of the ongoing importance of civil rights and the pursuit of educational equity across the country.
