There are 9 schools in the USA with the word tomahawk in the name.

The word "tomahawk" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and cultural significance tied to Native American heritage. The tomahawk, a type of hand axe, was widely used by various Indigenous tribes across North America and has become a recognizable symbol of Native American history. In many regions, especially where Native American tribes once lived or still reside, schools adopt the name to acknowledge local history and to honor the cultural roots of the community. Using the name "tomahawk" can also serve as a way to educate students and the broader community about the area's past and the important role of Indigenous peoples in shaping local and national history. This practice reflects an effort to incorporate cultural heritage into educational environments, fostering awareness and respect for the diverse origins of American society.
