There are 14 schools in the USA with the word altus in the name.

The word "altus," which is Latin for "high" or "elevated," is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its symbolic meanings and historical associations. Educational institutions often choose names that reflect ideals of aspiration, excellence, and achievement, and "altus" conveys a sense of reaching for higher goals in both learning and character. Additionally, the use of Latin terms in school names is a tradition that harks back to the classical roots of Western education, where Latin was the language of scholarship and intellectual pursuit. In some cases, "Altus" may also refer to geographic features, such as a location situated on high ground, further reinforcing the sense of distinction and prominence. This combination of cultural tradition, educational aspiration, and sometimes geographic context helps explain the frequent appearance of "altus" in school names across the United States.
