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

The word "Onondaga" is commonly found in U.S. public school names because it carries significant historical and geographical importance, particularly in the northeastern United States. Onondaga refers to one of the original five nations of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy, whose ancestral lands are primarily in present-day central New York. Many towns, counties, and natural landmarks in this region, such as Onondaga County and Onondaga Lake, bear the name as a tribute to the area's Native American heritage. Schools in these locations often adopt the name to honor and recognize the rich cultural legacy and continued presence of the Onondaga people. Using "Onondaga" in school names serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Indigenous communities on local history and identity.
