I know what the Iditarod is! What I meant was, because it’s so identified with Alaska it seems almost stereotypical to call a school....oh, never mind.

I assume the school was so named because the town is apparently on the Idatarod Trail.

It seems typical and logical for schools to have local names. Heck, the school where my three kids graduated in MA is "King Philip Regional High School" -- named after the Wampanoag Indian Sachem in a local Indian war...

I guess that, like taste, there's no accounting for local pride... ;-)
