Yes. It's on our monetary currency, so why not.
No. The US Supreme Court has found that organized prayer in schools is not permitted. You should have objected if you were offended. In the future, you should request that the board allow a moment of silence so that people can reflect or pray privately instead.
Not out loud prayer but you can pray to yourself.

Yes athletes should go to school. Education is very important and I am sure if an athlete gets a good education he/she wouldn't regret it. Not only should athletes go to school, here's a strange thought, school should be primary to sports. That is, if they are not able to keep up with the work load of academia, they should not be permitted to participate in sports, that is they should not be permitted to play. Advocating for them to be removed from the team is counter productive. Sports should be the incentive it is to get students into school. School still needs to remain the most important part of the equation.

Prayer in school should be protected as it serves as an expression of religious freedom for individuals. Allowing individuals to engage in prayer fosters a sense of respect for diverse beliefs and encourages a more inclusive and tolerant school environment. It also provides comfort and support to students who may derive strength from their faith during times of need.
