"Student" is certainly part of the simple subject. I believe "each" should also be considered part of the simple subject, making the complete simple subject "each student", but some might disagree.
"Each one of you is a class act" is correct, because the simple subject "one" requires a singular verb. Despite its proximity to the verb "is", "you" is not any part of a simple subject of this sentence but instead is the object of a preposition in a prepositional phrase in the complete subject. Objects of prepositions functioning grammatically as such are never by themselves the simple subject of a sentence.
