<p>Every student at my school is guaranteed a locker and a lot of students go to them frequently. I only use mine every other day to drop off my lunch bag and jacket in the morning (I pick them up before lunch), and once in a while over the weekend if I’m not going to need a particular binder. Most of the time, however, I just don’t have time to go to my locker and get to class during the five minute break we have between classes. But since I only have one text book (two that stay at home), two binders, and a handful of notebooks I guess I don’t need to use it that much!</p>
<p>The high schools in my district in Southern California had far too many students for the amount of lockers they had, so I don’t think most students had one. At my high school in Omaha, NE like no one used their locker other than for winter coats or something, but we all were assigned a locker. Here in South Carolina, my high school’s first year was about 5 years ago and we do have lockers, for everyone (although with the amount of growth we are experiencing, we’ll need more…).</p>
<p>I’ve never used my locker all throughout high school. During Freshman and Sophomore years, all my textbooks either had a class set available or an online edition. In junior and senior years, having my car in the parking lot was usually more convenient and offered a lot more room than the half-length lockers they gave us. This year I didn’t even bother forking over the $1.25 for one.</p>
