There are 18 schools in the USA with the word coyote in the name.

The word "coyote" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because the coyote is a native animal to many regions across North America, especially the American West and Southwest. Historically, coyotes have been an important part of Indigenous folklore and culture, often symbolizing adaptability, intelligence, and resilience-qualities that schools may wish to inspire in their students. Geographically, the presence of coyotes in local ecosystems makes the animal a familiar figure to communities, helping to foster a sense of connection and regional identity. By choosing "coyote" as part of a school's name or mascot, educational institutions reflect the wildlife and natural environment that surrounds them, while also encouraging pride in local heritage and an appreciation for the diversity of the landscape. These associations help establish a unique identity for the school within its community.
