There are 8 schools in the USA with the word columbian in the name.

The word "Columbian" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical connection to Christopher Columbus, whose voyages to the Americas are often credited with opening the way for European exploration and settlement. The use of "Columbian" reflects a tradition in American culture of honoring Columbus as a significant figure in the nation's origin story, especially in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when public institutions were frequently named to celebrate themes of discovery and progress. This naming practice also aligns with the broader trend of using historically significant terms and figures in naming schools to inspire a sense of heritage and identity within the community. As a result, "Columbian" has become a familiar and enduring element in the names of many educational institutions across the country.
