    First all of the Advice above is spot on, as a High school Teacher and ex vice principal, let me add some things. The 2 reasons you might get in trouble are officially:
    1: Dress Code Violation.
    2: Disruption of the educational process or something similar.

    Heed the above advice to see if you will be a dress code problem. Here is the student part of my district's dress code policy, emphasis mine.
    3.1. Dress and Grooming standards:
    3.1.1. The attire (apparel) and grooming of all students should be neat, clean and safe.
    3.1.2. Students have the responsibility to avoid apparel that causes a distraction or disruption, interrupting school decorum and adversely affecting the educational process. Students must also avoid apparel that is offensive, represents a risk, or threatens student safety.
    3.1.2.1. Printed apparel is acceptable only if it is in good taste. Any apparel displaying profanity, suggestive slogans, pictures or graphics, or promoting substances illegal for consumption by a minor, will not be allowed.
    3.1.2.2. Clothes that are mutilated or immodest are not appropriate school wear. Dresses, shorts, skirts, shirts, and blouses should be modest in length and not revealing. (Tank tops, tube tops and garments that reveal undergarments may be considered revealing).
    3.1.2.3. Hats are not to be worn in school buildings during regular school hours.
    3.1.2.4. Any apparel approved for school wear should be worn in accompaniment with appropriate undergarments.
    3.1.2.5. Footwear must be worn and should be safe and hygienic. Shoes, boots and sandals are considered suitable footwear.
    3.1.2.6. Clothing attachments or accessories which could be considered weapons are not allowed.

    As you can see a kilt should be okay as far as the dress code, but section 3.1.2 is the one that will get you. If a bunch of students start giggling or hoot’n and hollr’n about the kilt an administrator can make the call the you are disrupting school and forbid the kilt etc. If there is a bit of “Dude, WOW, cool, and other statements that drop off, a good administrator will drop it. My advice is to tell your friends you are going to wear one and go early so y’all can meet in the parking lot or wherever, and get the novelty over with. After that, just go to school and be you, stand a little straighter, walk a bit more confident, and enjoy your day
    Good luck
