There are 19 schools in the USA with the word carthage in the name.

The word "Carthage" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because many American towns and cities were named after the ancient city of Carthage, reflecting a broader tradition of drawing on classical names from history. Early settlers and founders often chose such names to convey a sense of culture, strength, and historical significance, hoping to inspire civic pride and educational aspiration in their communities. The name Carthage references the famous North African city that was a major center of trade and learning in the ancient world, which aligns with the educational goals of promoting knowledge and achievement. As a result, schools in towns bearing the name Carthage naturally adopt it, leading to its frequent appearance in school names across the country.
