No. The US Supreme Court has made some limited exceptions to allow religious or quasi-religious displays on government property, but it would be unconstitutional under the First Amendment Establishment Clause to allow tax-supported organizations, such as public schools, to incorporate any form of religion into official activities.
Individuals are free to pray or practice non-intrusive and non-disruptive religious acts privately on school grounds or other government property.
