There are 15 schools in the USA with the word banneker in the name.

The word "Banneker" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a tribute to Benjamin Banneker, a prominent African American mathematician, astronomer, and inventor in the late 18th century. Banneker's achievements are especially significant given the limited opportunities available to Black Americans during his lifetime, making him a symbol of intellectual achievement and perseverance. Naming schools after Banneker serves to honor his legacy and inspire students to value education, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry. Additionally, it reflects an effort to recognize and celebrate the contributions of African Americans to the nation's history and culture, promoting a more inclusive representation within educational institutions.
