There are 6 schools in the USA with the word damascus in the name.

The word "Damascus" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the historical and cultural influence of place-naming practices brought by early settlers. Many communities across the United States were named after ancient cities or biblical locations as settlers sought to reflect their religious heritage, admiration for classical civilizations, or aspirations for their new communities. Damascus, an ancient city with important historical and religious significance, was a popular choice, symbolizing endurance, wisdom, and continuity. As these towns and communities developed, local schools adopted the community name to strengthen local identity and foster a sense of belonging among students and residents. This tradition has resulted in several schools across the country bearing the name "Damascus."
