ORANGE PARK, Fla. - Students at Orange Park High School no longer have lockers to store their belongings. The school said there are multiple reasons it decided to remove the lockers, but the move was primarily because students aren't using lockers as much as they once did. Before, students who wished to use a locker had to rent one for a small fee at the beginning of the school year.
