There are 37 schools in the USA with the word christopher in the name.

The word "Christopher" is commonly found in U.S. public school names largely due to the historical influence of Christopher Columbus, whose voyages are often credited with opening the Americas to European exploration. For many years, Columbus was regarded as an important historical figure in American culture, and his name became a symbol of exploration, discovery, and new beginnings-qualities often valued in educational contexts. Communities across the United States have named schools after Columbus as a way to honor his perceived role in history, and the use of his first name, "Christopher," sometimes reflects a broader trend of using given names in institutional naming practices. Additionally, Saint Christopher, regarded as the patron saint of travelers in Christian tradition, has also influenced the naming of schools, particularly in areas with strong Catholic heritage. Over time, these cultural and historical associations have contributed to the recurring appearance of the name "Christopher" in school names nationwide.
