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

The word "bison" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because the bison is a powerful symbol of the American plains and reflects the nation's natural heritage. Historically, bison were once widespread across North America, especially in the Great Plains, and they played a crucial role in the lives of Native American peoples as a source of food, clothing, and materials. In many communities, adopting the name "bison" for schools honors the animal's significance to local history and serves as a reminder of the landscape and wildlife that shaped the region's identity. Additionally, the bison is often associated with strength, resilience, and unity, values that schools aim to instill in their students.
