How much do you want to spend on this little adventure? Coleman makes a refer cooler that runs on 12volt that you could strip and mod to a locker sized fridge. But you'd have to take the battery home every other day to charge it.

You could pick up a 110 volt to to 12 volt transformer, plug it into the nearest outlet and run a wire down the hall to your locker.

...or you could just bring a Milk Chug to school with you every day.

I think I would be amused with a student trying this at a school I worked in.. but what the hay..

Deep cycle marine batteries wired in series and a one of those colman 12V coolers would be your best bet (And wire in a switch to turn the thing off when you dont need to use it) would be your best bet I would guess.
