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

The word "Winnebago" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its significant historical and geographic connections. "Winnebago" originally refers to the Native American tribe also known as the Ho-Chunk, who traditionally inhabited regions of the Midwest, particularly in present-day Wisconsin, Illinois, and surrounding states. Many towns, counties, and landmarks in these areas bear the name "Winnebago," reflecting the lasting influence of Indigenous peoples on the region's identity and history. Naming schools after "Winnebago" serves not only to honor the area's heritage but also to instill local pride and awareness of the region's cultural roots in students. This practice helps maintain a connection to the historical narratives and Indigenous presence that shaped these communities long before modern development.
