Simpliest way to solve this issue - is to use this facebook proxy. As far as I know - it's the only working one. Try it.
There are a couple ways depending on how your school does it's security and how much trouble you want to get in if you're caught.
The least risky but easier to stop solution. You can just find an anonymity site, like http://www.anonymizer.com/ that is not blocked by your school and operate through them. Essentially the school proxy will only see the anonymity site and you can view a copy of the sites you access wrapped in their site, much like a Tojan Horse.
Slightly harder but with less risk, set up a Linux box in your home with remote desktop web services on port 80. Setup DNS to your home machine and open your firewall. Then when you go to your home site you will have an emulated desktop that can access anything you want and is no longer behind a proxy.
Finally. If your school does not block the install of devices or you can get on the machine as admin, you can possibly attach a smart phone to the computer like a blackberry and access it through the web connection on your phone instead of the campus network. This will then bypass any campus security and the school network all together. This of course might require what many would consider identity theft, flagrant violation of most school's policies, and has to be done on every machine you use. Not ideal.
Option 3 works best if your in a dorm room on your own personal machine because you can use the campus network for things that will load and redirect banned content to load from the slower connection on your phone.
(For more information on this look up traffic redirection and port forwarding.)
If the blocks were setup by your school, chances are the person that did
it either hired a contractor to do it and knows nothing about the
system, or they fuddled through it themselves and know only the basics.
Regardless, they're probably an unemployed communication major or full
time teacher the school got on the cheap, not an IT professional, and
definitely not all that excited about letting you on a Facebook page
that some admin thinks will ruin the school if you update your staus...
So
I'd still say my answer should still get "More Thumbs"

If the blocks are setup by your school then you will need to talk to whoever set them up in order to get past them ...
