How many same name schools are there in Virginia?

[NNDman]

Posed this on the Class 1 Board as well.
We have three Patrick Henrys and three Heritages. There is Rappahannock and Rappahannock County. Three Centrals (Lunenburg, Woodstock, and Wise) plus King and Queen Central although its school marquee shows Central High School. Couple Thomas Jeffersons; two Libertys and in the peculiar category two Park Views, plus Staunton and Staunton River.
In another vein we have: Fort Chiswell and Fort Defiance; Riverbend, Riverheads, and Riverview; Prince Edward and Prince George; Osbourn and Osbourn Park; William Campbell, William Monroe and William Fleming; Northumberland, Northampton, North Stafford, Northside, Northwood.
Any others?

Freedom is particularly strange. Same name, colors, and mascot. They are not that far apart so they have to know about each other. Anybody from that area know what the deal is?

My best guess is since one opened in 2004 and the other in 2005 they just independently sourced the same name and mascot choice (the mascot is pretty cliché given the school name) and probably each county ended up approving the decision close enough together that nobody wanted to go through the process again.

Instead of a eagle mascot they should have William Wallace in the blue face paint. Anytime I here Freedom that movie flashes in my head.

Very strange since these school boards are not interested in Freedom at all.

Central - Sussex

That's actually Sussex Central. Those other HS are just Central HS (of Wise, Lunenburg, or Woodstock). May or may not be the local terminology but that's how the state views them.
