I never had to shower after gym class (just changed clothes), but my high school did have showers. Thankfully my gym class was at the end of the day, so in the event that I did get particularly sweaty, I could just go straight home afterward (but I always reapplied deodorant and changed back into normal clothes regardless). I think I maybe saw someone in the shower only one time in the locker room, but it was more of an acknowledgement that the water was on, so someone must've been in there (didn't see him directly).

But here's the disturbing thing about my high school showers. The shower heads were not positioned along the walls of the shower room like what you normally see. Instead, there were three or four cylindrical steel columns (roughly 8-10 inches in diameter) lined up about eight feet from each other down the middle of the long rectangular shower room, with the shower heads all sticking outward from the center of each column... So, if multiple people (more than four, so more than one person to a column) were to use the showers at the same time... they would all be facing inward - towards each other - while they showered... Yeah.

I decided on day one that, even in the event that I wanted/needed a shower after gym - it wasn't gonna happen.
