There are 16 schools in the USA with the word apache in the name.

The word "Apache" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the significant historical and cultural presence of the Apache people in the American Southwest. The Apache are a group of Native American tribes whose influence is particularly strong in states such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, where many schools aim to honor the region's indigenous heritage. Incorporating the word "Apache" into school names can recognize the important role that the Apache tribes have played in local history, traditions, and community identity. By choosing this name, schools often seek to foster appreciation for the area's native cultures and encourage respect for the diverse backgrounds that have shaped local communities. This naming tradition also reflects a broader effort in education to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of indigenous peoples throughout U.S. history.
