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

The word "Onalaska" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its origins as a place name in several American states, including Wisconsin, Texas, and Washington. These towns were often established during periods of westward expansion in the 19th century, and the distinctive name helped to give new settlements a unique identity. The name itself is believed to have been inspired by a poem referencing Unalaska, an island in Alaska, which early settlers adapted for its pleasant sound and exotic appeal. As these towns developed, public institutions such as schools naturally adopted the community's name to foster a sense of local pride and unity among students. Today, the use of "Onalaska" in school names reflects both the geographic heritage and the enduring legacy of the communities in which these schools are situated.
