There are 25 schools in the USA with the word torres in the name.

The word "Torres" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its significance in Hispanic culture and history, particularly in communities with large Latino populations. "Torres," meaning "towers" in Spanish, is also a common surname within Spanish-speaking communities, and naming schools after prominent individuals with this last name honors their contributions to education, civil rights, or community leadership. Additionally, as the U.S. continues to embrace its multicultural heritage, educational institutions increasingly recognize influential local or national figures of Hispanic descent to celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging among students. The presence of the name also reflects the demographic shifts in many regions, acknowledging the cultural roots and histories of the families served by these schools. Over time, this practice helps promote inclusivity while educating students about the cultural and historical significance of the namesakes within their community.
