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

The word "Tekoa" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance. Derived from a biblical town in ancient Judea, the name was adopted by early European settlers who often named new communities after places mentioned in the Bible. As settlers moved westward, these biblical names were given to towns and landmarks, and subsequently to local schools, as a way to establish a sense of heritage and continuity. Additionally, Tekoa is the name of several small towns across the United States, particularly in regions influenced by Christian settlers, making it a natural choice for naming schools that serve as central institutions in these communities. The use of such names reflects both the local history and the broader cultural practice of drawing on familiar, meaningful terms to establish identity and community values.
