There are 13 schools in the USA with the word virgil in the name.

The word "Virgil" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a reference to significant historical or cultural figures, particularly the ancient Roman poet Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro), whose works were foundational in the study of literature and the humanities. Many schools adopt the names of classical writers and thinkers to emphasize the importance of education, intellectual achievement, and cultural heritage. Additionally, "Virgil" may also appear in school names as a tribute to local individuals or community leaders with the first or last name Virgil who played important roles in education or civic life. Using such names for schools can help foster a sense of pride and connection to historical, literary, or local traditions, inspiring students to value learning and community contribution. This practice reflects a broader trend within the United States of honoring influential people or ideals through the naming of public institutions.
