There are 7 schools in the USA with the word lenape in the name.

The word "Lenape" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it honors the Lenape people, a Native American tribe indigenous to the northeastern United States, especially in areas that are now Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Delaware. Many schools use the name as a way to recognize and preserve the history and cultural legacy of the original inhabitants of the land where these institutions are located. This naming practice serves as an educational tool, reminding students and the community about the region's Native American heritage. Additionally, using "Lenape" in school names reflects a broader effort to acknowledge and respect the contributions and significance of Indigenous peoples in American history.
