Here, schools are usualy named after scientists and famous poets and writers, sometimes even figures with historic significants.
I once was in a place where the highschools were called "Göthe Gymnasium" and Schiller Gymnasium"
Gymnasium, being the german word for "highschool" and Göthe and Schiller being 2 of the most importent german poets in the history of our language.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe
Anyway I recall a conversation between two students at a trainstation:
Bist du Schiller?
Nein.
Bist du Göthe?
Ja, und bist du Schiller?
May sound weird, but to me it gave the idea that language was devolving a kick in the but.
