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

The word "Ponca" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance, particularly in regions associated with the Ponca Native American tribe. The Ponca people are indigenous to areas that now comprise parts of Nebraska and Oklahoma, and their enduring presence and contributions are often recognized through the naming of local institutions. Naming schools after the Ponca serves as a way to honor the tribe's cultural heritage and to acknowledge the original inhabitants of the land. Additionally, it provides educational opportunities for students to learn about the history and influence of Native American tribes in their community and in American history overall. This practice reflects a broader trend in the United States of naming public institutions after important regional and cultural figures or groups.
