There are 9 schools in the USA with the word arapahoe in the name.

The word "Arapahoe" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it reflects the historical and geographic presence of the Arapaho people, a Native American tribe originally inhabiting the Great Plains, particularly in areas that are now Colorado and Wyoming. Many communities in these regions have chosen to honor the tribe's legacy and acknowledge the role of Indigenous peoples in local history by naming schools, counties, and other public institutions after the Arapaho. This practice serves as a way to preserve cultural heritage and foster greater awareness of the area's original inhabitants among students and the broader community. Additionally, using names tied to local history or Native American heritage is a longstanding tradition in American public education, symbolizing respect for cultural diversity and regional identity.
