Have you ever wanted to use Facebook (or some other site that was blocked) in school? Look no further, because a company called Ultrareach created a program called Ultrasurf.
Ultrasurf was originally created to stop censorship in China so those people over there could see ideas such as democracy and free labor. See more about their cause here:

Even though it was created for this noble cause, you can still use it for your own purposes (such as Facebook in school). Basically how it works is that it searches for a fast proxy to mask your IP address.
You can download Ultrasurf here: http://www.ultrareach.com/
More available downloads here: http://www.ultrareach.com/download_en.htm
After you download it, I don't think you even need to extract it from the .ZIP archive, although you could if you want to.
Sometimes, schools might block the Ultrasurf download page. Never fear, because you can use a proxy server (lots of them listed at http://proxy.org/) to download Ultrasurf. You're using a proxy to download a proxy!
Why not just use a proxy server online? Well, many of them have really annoying ads that pop up, most of them cannot render certain pages correctly (especially images), and they're usually pretty slow. Ultrasurf displays all of it correctly and loads the pages very quickly. Plus, Ultrasurf has no ads in it at all.
One more problem... what if you school blocks proxy servers? Then I guess you'll have to bring Ultrasurf on a flash drive after downloading it from your home computer!
