There are 31 schools in the USA with the word shawnee in the name.

The word "Shawnee" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to the historical presence of the Shawnee people in various regions across the country. The Shawnee are a Native American tribe whose traditional lands spanned parts of the Midwest and the Eastern United States, including present-day Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. As communities grew in these areas, many chose to honor the legacy and cultural significance of the Shawnee by naming schools and other public institutions after them. This practice serves as a way to recognize and preserve local history, while also educating students and the public about the region's indigenous heritage. In some cases, the name also reflects nearby geographic features or towns that bear the same name, further linking the school's identity to the local landscape and history.
