There are 6 schools in the USA with the word letters in the name.
The word "letters" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical association with the study of literature, reading, and the humanities. Traditionally, the term "letters" refers to written works and scholarship, emphasizing the importance of literacy, language arts, and the cultivation of communication skills. By including "letters" in school names, educators highlight the institution's commitment to foundational academic subjects such as reading and writing, which are essential for students' intellectual development. This naming convention also reflects a broader educational tradition that values the study of great works and the development of critical thinking through engagement with texts. As a result, schools use "letters" in their names to signal a focus on the core components of a well-rounded education rooted in the humanities.
