I've not tried this, but it seems simple enough:

Before you even bother with this, though, ensure that the computers
you plan to use this on can even boot from USB drives. Most classroom
computers that I've seen don't have the capacity. In that case, you
might be able to get away with the distro installed on the USB drive,
and a bootloader on a floppy/CD.
Also, if you're looking for a more hands-on approach, you might want
to check out
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/179 . As
an added benefit, that guide includes encryption of most of the system.
