There are 12 schools in the USA with the word savage in the name.
The word "savage" appears in some U.S. public school names largely due to historical and geographic factors. In many cases, schools have been named after local towns, landmarks, or prominent individuals who bore the surname "Savage," rather than as a reference to the term's modern meaning. Additionally, during periods of westward expansion and community establishment, it was common for places and institutions to be named after early settlers, landowners, or influential families in the region. Over time, these names became part of the local heritage and identity, and schools adopted them to reflect their geographic or historical ties to the community. The use of the term generally reflects a connection to local history rather than any deliberate commentary or modern interpretation of the word itself.
