There are 6 schools in the USA with the word owyhee in the name.

The word "Owyhee" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance in the western United States. The term dates back to the early 19th century, when explorers named the Owyhee region in honor of several Hawaiian laborers (then known as "Owyhees") who traveled with fur-trading expeditions in what is now Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada. The name became associated with prominent natural features in the area, such as the Owyhee River and Owyhee Mountains, and later with counties and towns. Schools in these regions adopted the name to reflect their local heritage, geographic identity, and connection to early exploration and settlement in the American West, making "Owyhee" a notable and recurring name in school communities.
