What’s in your locker?
By Brody Coulter
What’s in your locker? This is a question a lot of students do not often ask themselves, however, maybe some students should.
Year after year, students are assigned lockers to hold their school work between classes and maybe a few personal items. Unfortunately, some students, like myself, sometimes treat the locker like it is their closet at home.
Mark Brahmer, Pierce High’s principal, does routine locker checks a few times a year. More times than not, the lockers contain the average school supplies, papers, and maybe a little bit of trash. However, this is not always the case. Brahmer says he has found a multitude of things inside lockers.
“I discovered a molded, two week old package of Wragge dogs,” Brahmer shared about some objects found in lockers.
Brahmer also recalls a few incidents of a stench coming from one of the lockers. During the spring semester of the 2023-2024 school year a student had brought some leftover milk from lunch back to their locker and had later forgotten all about the milk. This resulted in the entire west wing reeking of rotten milk until the source of the scent was found.
“The whole hallway smelled like rotten eggs,” Jason Freudenburg, a teacher in the west wing, says.
So the next time you choose to bring a food product to class, be sure to get rid of it on time to save us all the trouble.
