Great idea J...building a habitat would be both educational and efficient for the school. Getting the school to pay for the materials may be iffy, but you may be able to get some local businesses to donate some material for classroom use. If there is a wood shop in your high school, you may be able to get them involved. Either way it would be good exposure for snakes and an experience for the kids.
If none of that is possible, then try to educate your prior teacher about the proper care of his reptile. I find that most times, if you are respectful people are willing to listen to your input. Some people always think they are right no matter what you say, and there is nothing that you will be able to say. If he has water, is well fed, and not crammed into a tiny tank you may be able to get the teacher to make general changes for the better. It sounds like he may have some bad info but wants to take good care of the snake. Have you tried to get him to switch to p/k or f/t prey? I think that is the first thing that I would try to tackle.
