There are 5 schools in the USA with the word trades in the name.

The word "trades" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the long-standing tradition of vocational and technical education in the country. Historically, these schools have played a key role in preparing students for careers in fields such as carpentry, automotive repair, welding, and other hands-on occupations that are vital to the nation's economy. Geographically, many communities across the United States established "trade schools" to meet localized workforce needs and provide career pathways for students who may not pursue a traditional academic route. Culturally, there has been a consistent emphasis on the value of skilled labor and practical training, reflecting the importance of vocational education alongside academic studies. As a result, including "trades" in school names signals a specialized focus on equipping students with technical skills necessary for success in the workforce.
