There are 6 schools in the USA with the word cochise in the name.

The word "Cochise" is commonly found in the names of U.S. public schools, particularly in the Southwest, due to its strong historical and geographic significance. Cochise was a prominent leader of the Chiricahua Apache, known for his influence during the mid-19th century and his resistance against encroachment on Apache lands. Many places in Arizona, including Cochise County, are named after him, reflecting his lasting legacy in the region's history and culture. Schools that adopt the name often do so to honor the area's Native American heritage and to foster a sense of local identity and pride rooted in the region's past. This practice also serves to educate students about important figures and events in American and Southwestern history.
