There are 12 schools in the USA with the word hoke in the name.

The word "Hoke" appears in the names of many U.S. public schools primarily due to its association with historical figures or geographic regions, especially in the southeastern United States. Notably, Hoke County in North Carolina is named after Robert F. Hoke, a Confederate general and influential local leader, which explains the prevalence of schools in that area adopting the name. Over time, as communities sought to honor local history and notable individuals, the name "Hoke" became a way to reflect regional heritage and community pride. Additionally, naming schools after counties or prominent figures is a longstanding tradition in American education, serving both as a tribute and a means of establishing a shared local identity. As a result, "Hoke" remains a familiar and respected name in many public school titles.
