There are 6 schools in the USA with the word calera in the name.

The word "calera" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects local historical and geographic influences. Derived from the Spanish word for "lime kiln," "calera" often indicates areas where limestone was quarried or processed, and where lime kilns were prominent in the community's development. Many towns and cities in the United States, particularly in regions that were part of Spanish colonial territories, adopted the name due to the presence of these early industries. As a result, local schools have inherited the name, connecting the institution to the region's cultural heritage and sense of place. Incorporating "calera" in school names reinforces ties to the local community's history and landscape, serving as a reminder of the area's roots.
