There are 16 schools in the USA with the word commerce in the name.

The word "commerce" frequently appears in the names of U.S. public schools due to its historical and educational significance, particularly in the context of vocational training. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the United States experienced rapid industrial and economic growth, many urban school districts established specialized high schools focused on business and commercial education. These schools aimed to prepare students for careers in trade, accounting, banking, and other business-related fields, reflecting the growing demand for skilled workers in an expanding economy. Additionally, the use of "commerce" in school names helped distinguish these institutions from traditional academic or technical schools, signaling to communities and employers the practical, career-focused training offered to students. Over time, these schools played a vital role in supporting local economies by equipping graduates with skills needed for office and commercial work.
