Do You Use Your Locker?

      Chadron High School is filled with lockers. However, how many people really use them? Brice Hudson said that he hasn't used his locker once this year as he carries everything in his backpack. "Probably less than half of students use a locker, maybe even less," said Mr. Mack.
      So why do we have so many lockers if there not being used? According to Dustin St. Andre he used his locker once a day until it broke, so now he carries his things with him. "I don't think we should get rid of the lockers, because then where would we put our stuff?" said St. Andre. "Do our lockers get repaired?" asked St. Andre. "We do have locker replacement on our strategic plan for the district.... which means it's probably a few years out," said Mr. Mack.
      "We should get cubbies," said Hudson. "Or bigger lockers so it's would be easier to get into to," said Elijah Dryden.  However, St. Andre doesn't think these ideas are right, because then students wouldn't have a place to put their stuff.
     "We'd want to replace them with bigger lockers, so they would be used more," said Mr. Mack.
      The idea of replacing the lockers with benches was never thought of. "That's not a bad idea. We haven't had it recommended before. We have looked into adding benches or more seating in the commons area and near the office," said Mr. Mack.
