There are 12 schools in the USA with the word euclid in the name.

The word "Euclid" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily because of its association with Euclid of Alexandria, a renowned ancient Greek mathematician often referred to as the "father of geometry." His influential works, particularly the book *Elements*, form the basis of much of modern geometry, making his name synonymous with rigorous learning and the pursuit of knowledge. Many schools adopt the name "Euclid" to reflect a commitment to academic excellence, particularly in mathematics and science. Additionally, there are towns and cities named Euclid in several U.S. states, so schools in these areas often carry the name simply to indicate their geographic location. This combination of educational significance and local identity explains why "Euclid" appears frequently in public school names.
