There are 25 schools in the USA with the word capt in the name.

The word "capt" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as an abbreviation of "captain," a title often used to honor individuals who held notable leadership roles in the military, maritime industry, or local government. Many schools are named after influential figures in American history or the community, such as Captain John Smith or Captain Charles Wilkins, to recognize their contributions and instill a sense of pride and legacy in students. This tradition reflects the broader American practice of commemorating historical leaders and local heroes by naming public buildings and institutions after them. Additionally, using "capt" in school names can serve as a subtle teaching tool, introducing students to important regional or national history associated with the individual for whom the school is named. Such names help foster a connection to local heritage and promote values of leadership and service within the school community.
