There are 30 schools in the USA with the word helena in the name.

The word "Helena" is commonly found in U.S. public school names primarily due to its historical and geographic significance. Many cities and towns across the United States, such as Helena, Montana-the state capital-bear the name "Helena," often named during periods of westward expansion in the 19th century. These places were named for various reasons, including honoring early settlers, referencing cultural or religious figures like Saint Helena, or borrowing from other cities around the world. As communities established schools, it became customary to name educational institutions after the town or city in which they were located, helping to foster a sense of local identity and pride. Consequently, schools often adopt the name "Helena" to reflect their geographic location and to strengthen ties with their surrounding community.
