There are 11 schools in the USA with the word wheaton in the name.

The word "Wheaton" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its historical and geographic significance. Wheaton is the name of several cities and towns across the United States, most notably in Illinois and Maryland, which were often named after influential local figures or early settlers such as Warren L. Wheaton, a pioneer and community leader. As communities developed, schools were frequently named after their location or prominent residents to foster a sense of local identity and pride. Over time, the repetition of the name in different regions has led to "Wheaton" becoming a familiar and respected part of many school names. The use of place-based names in education reflects a broader tradition in American schooling that emphasizes the connection between institutions and their surrounding communities.
