im assuming you meant illegal cause whats the fun in finding legal things !!

prior to high school i thought no because they had no warrant blah blah search seizure blah blah
but at my oldhigh school they'd have random searches and since they said since you're at THEIR school they have the right to look in your stuff
 
They can search you if they get a warrant for the school. They can't search you just because they feel like it. They have to have a legal reason. Like someone on campus selling drugs or a terrorist threat. I don't know if it's different in every state, but I know in California it's illegal for them to search you for no reason.
