You have a great mission field, so do what Jesus said, "be wise as a serpent, and harmless as a dove" Live your faith, and always be ready to give an answer for the hope that you have within you. God will open the doors for you. You may be very surprized to find that you are far from being alone as you think.

I imagine your life must be a lot like mine, fifty years ago, when I was the "only one" at school who didn't believe in God.
I suggest, for your personal safety, that you keep your religious opinions to yourself. Christianity has a long and infamous history of persecuting everybody else, and Christians have made a lot of bitter enemies. Practice your religion on your own time, otherwise keep your mouth shut. That's what we atheists have been forced to do for centuries.
Right now you have the privilege of a free public school education. Take advantage of the oppurtunity to study and get good grades so you can get into a good college -- where, with much further study you can become qualified to have a real career and earn enough money, for long enough, to support a family of your own. That's the whole point of being a living human being -- to reproduce and thus propel the genetics of your own ancestors into the future. Everything else boils down to the ignorant superstitions of our ancient ancestors.

How do you know you are the only one that believes in God at your school. Remember that everyone has their own personalized relationship with God. Some walk around and can shout their praises to God while others are quieter about their praising and say many silent prayers and amens to themselves. I doubt you are the only believer but even if you were then that still isn't a problem. Continue to pray when you get ready to and apply your christian teachings to your everyday life. For others around you to not believe should concern you but not be a problem for you.

Same thing you should do if the roles where reversed.
Live and let live.
Respect that they have as much right to believe what they believe as you have a right to believe what you believe.
One of the many sad truths of the world is that too many people are so busy labeling those around them, putting themselves into separate boxes.
That they fail to see the true friendships they might have shared with each other, regardless and despite of such differences.

Take comfort in your beliefs and live as you see fit. Do not push your beliefs on anyone else though. Your religion does not define WHO you are but how you live. Be you and leave your religion at the door. You may be surprised that there are more in your school that do believe like you do but, to keep from being labled or picked on, they leave it at the door. The best saying in the world for social situations I have ever learned is "Never talk about politics or religion with people you have just met and to keep your views to yourself" that doesn't mean to not speak of it in a forum of like minded people, but when you meet new people, it's best to keep it out of the initial conversation until you know them better.
Blessed be and Peace

Just keep on believing and others will know he is real from watching you. Just don't try to force anyone to believe. At some point in time they will find God. Just pray for them that they will find the truth for themselves.

Wow. What school is this?
Anyway, you don't have to DO anything. School isn't about religion, anyway, it's about learning. Just go and do what you're supposed to do at school.
If you feel like you need some companionship with kids who share your beliefs, then join a church youth organization.

Nobody in your whole school but you believes in God? Wow. What are the odds of that???
My suggestion: Live your life the way Jesus is leading you.
I know from personal experience how hard it is to stay faithful when everybody around you is telling you your faith is stupid or --since I am a gay Christian -- impossible.
But as much as possible, tune out the ones who aggravate your faith and find people who accept and respect your beliefs.
School doesn't last forever. Hold on to Jesus and He will hold on to you.

Keep on believing! Don't force your views on others and don't let others force their's on you.
Some of my best friends are of different faiths, beliefs, and aren't belivers at all. But, we all get along just fine cause we respect each others views and try not to convert anybody.
