In Virginia:
I am now currently in my Junior year at a Catholic school.

I never had lockers until I started High School going to a Catholic school. From K-2nd grade, you didn't really need text books because they didn't give assignments from text books. It was just taking papers home and such for homework, and completing them. Like worksheets. In 3rd grade, they had lockers, but I rarely, if ever, used mine. I'm not sure if anyone really did.

In Texas, they gave us textbooks to take home, so we didn't need to bring them to school, since they had textbooks in all of the classrooms. At the end of the year, though, we had to give the textbooks back.

Then, in Catholic school, we had to buy the books, and take them to school each day, and use our lockers to store our books and other possessions that we didn't need/didn't want to carry around at the time.
