What would I need to have a small devotional Kemetic (Egyptian) shrine in my locker? It has a small compartment. How Can I go around and using it to build a relationship with Wepwawet-Yinepu?

I'm not Kemetic, but you'd probably need a statue of Wepwawet-Yinepu and small curtain or something to keep your statue hidden. From what I've read, Kemetic deities like their privacy. It's doubtful that your school would allow you to light any candles or incense, but you could keep a plate/bowl for offerings of food, water, and devotional objects.
I'd be afraid that all of the activity around the lockers would disturb the deity, so you might want to keep that in mind.

The querent wants a private shrine in his/her locker, not one put up by the school. So long as s/he's not bothering anyone, then I don't see how it would be a problem. People pray in school all the time. So long as they don't try to make it a public spectacle, it should be respected and ignored. Ideally, no one should even be aware that the student is praying, and I doubt the querent wants to bring his religion to the attention of the other students.

If that were true, then we wouldn't have had to listen to Biblical verses over the intercom every day in High School. Christianity is "allowed" in school. You may pray and meet with others to pray, so long as you do not disrupt class, and so long as school officials do not participate or encourage participation in religious activities (although they may observe). This is for your protection. Would you like it if a pagan teacher started every class with a prayer to his/her gods? Would you feel confident in the teacher's religious impartiality?

why can you not learn math,reading,computers etc. at school. Then if you are actually interested in worshipping(name your deity)there are many more hours left in the day for you to worship. Wanting shrines,crosses,any religious symbols in schools is not devotional,it is trying to cause a problem. Any sincere worshippers would not make a fuss about school,but pray ceaselessly on thier off time. Dont pray in my school,I wont think in your church

It would be better to have a place at home like I do Religion is a very personal thing Beside that you could end up having an in tervention Like I did. I converted but not to the Christian faith. I was tormented by so called Christians all through school. my answer would be to not do something that might leave you open to hate mongers.
