There are 18 schools in the USA with the word tioga in the name.

The word "Tioga" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its strong historical and geographic connections in certain regions of the country, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest. Rooted in Native American languages, "Tioga" typically means "at the forks," referring to a meeting of rivers or paths, and it was originally used by Indigenous peoples to describe various locations, especially in present-day New York and Pennsylvania. Many communities and counties bearing the name Tioga grew around these historical sites, and local institutions such as schools often adopted the name to reflect local heritage and geographic identity. By naming schools "Tioga," communities honor both the region's origins and the significant role Indigenous names play in American history, fostering a sense of connection to the area's past and its landscape.
