My high school, among other interesting design decisions, didn't have any lockers in the academic areas. So you had a locker that was way over by the gyms, or out by the shop classes, or if you were lucky in the cafeteria (because then you could at least stash your lunch in it).

The administration also seemed to be completely mystified as to why everyone carried around huge backpacks.
