There are 8 schools in the USA with the word okaw in the name.

The word "Okaw" is commonly found in U.S. public school names, particularly in Illinois, due to its historic and geographic significance. "Okaw" is derived from the word for the Kaskaskia River, originally called "Okaw" by Native American peoples in the region. This river has long been an important waterway and landmark in central and southern Illinois, shaping the development and settlement patterns of nearby communities. As a result, schools and other local institutions often adopt the name to honor the area's indigenous heritage and to reflect a connection to the local landscape. Incorporating "Okaw" into school names helps preserve regional history and reinforces a sense of identity within the community.
