There are 14 schools in the USA with the word seminary in the name.

The word "seminary" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools due to historical patterns in American education. In the 18th and 19th centuries, "seminary" referred broadly to an institution of learning, not just those for religious training. Many early schools, especially in rural or developing communities, used the term to emphasize their role in providing advanced or specialized education beyond basic reading and writing. Over time, as these institutions evolved into public schools or were absorbed into public school systems, the original names were often retained as part of local tradition. The continued use of "seminary" in school names thus reflects both the historical development of American education and the community pride in preserving local history.
