Prayer in schools is not illegal (in the United States, at least). It's normally considered illegal (specifically, a First Amendment violation) for a public school to require prayer or for formal prayers to be lead by a teacher or school official, but it's not illegal for an individual student to pray, or not, as they choose (and it's at least arguable that prohibiting prayer entirely would also be a First Amendment violation).
