It should be noted there are 14 schools with the direction WEST in it, six with South, eleven North, and five EAST. I guess the old adage "Go West Young Man" had an impression.
Maybe we should have real estate developers in charge of naming schools. Years ago, I went through an exclusive development near Sioux City called Dakota Dunes. Streets were named: Sawgrass Trail, West Flurie Drive, Spy Glass Circle, Quail Hollow, and Sioux Point Road.
Of course, developers and home builders want to draw you in with the likes of Whispering Oaks. A pair of school districts did give it a shot--Morning Sun in Louisa County and Prairie Valley School District.
Let's also not forget about the schools in the larger areas like Des Moines-- Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington(Cedar Rapids), and Hoover. Very patriotic and simple. I'm not even going to get into Turkey Valley School District. Opposing fans at a sporting event have to have fun with it!
Back to the beginning! Maybe I-35 wasn't a bad idea! It would look pretty good on the bill of a baseball cap!
