There are 20 schools in the USA with the word humanities in the name.

The word "humanities" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects a broad educational tradition that emphasizes the study of human culture, history, literature, and the arts. Historically, American education has valued the liberal arts as foundational for developing critical thinking, communication skills, and an understanding of diverse perspectives. Incorporating "humanities" in a school's name often signals a commitment to nurturing well-rounded students who can engage thoughtfully with society and the world. In regions with rich cultural histories, such as urban centers or areas known for academic institutions, the term underscores the importance of connecting students to both local and global human experiences. This focus aligns with educational philosophies that prioritize holistic development over purely technical or vocational training.
