There are 11 schools in the USA with the word cache in the name.

The word "cache" appears in many U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographical significance, particularly in the western United States. "Cache" is a term derived from the French word for "hiding place," and it was commonly used by fur trappers and explorers in the 18th and 19th centuries to describe spots where they would hide supplies for later use. As a result, many natural features-such as rivers, counties, and valleys-were named "Cache" in regions where these explorers traveled and settled, especially in places like Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Schools in these areas often adopt the names of local landmarks or geographic terms to reflect community heritage and connect students to the history of their region. This naming practice helps foster a sense of local pride and offers students a tangible link to the stories and landscapes that have shaped their community.
