I know you don't want to hear this, but you shouldn't even try because that is against the acceptable use policy at your school. They have sites blocked for safety and security reasons.
Trying to bypass their security is considered hacking and will get you banned from using any of their computers and probably even suspended or expelled.
They can see and track everything you do so you WILL get caught. Not being able to use the computers at all would suck way worse than just using them to view allowed sites - wouldn't it?

If you truly have a "need", not a "want", contact your system administrator and have them create an exception to the school's policy on blocking certain web content. If you really "want" to get on MySpace, wait until you get home to use it. While you may disagree with the school's policy, trying to circumvent it is only going to get you in trouble. You may get away with it for a sort period of time but realize that the administrators that setup the blocks are not sitting back doing nothing to monitor the network.
** Edit **
Recon B - While it is true that you "may not" be punished for accessing MySpace (or any other blocked content for that matter), the school policy does reserve the right to do it. I'm sure with enough violations or one violation the compromises the school network, you'll quickly find that you will be suspended from computer usage privileges. As for your comment about everyone not having a computer at home, the fact is that it does not give you a right to violate the school computer usage policy. If you don't agree with computer usage policies, work with your student government organization to present a reasonable argument to change the policy. While I'm sure there are students without computer access at home, I'm sure the number is decreasing. You also have other resources to computer access at friends houses or the public library. While in school, follow the school policies.
Oh, on the comment about us "not having lives", the comment has nothing to do with the policy. First, I have no ties to the school system so I'm not pro-blocking the content. I just support that breaking policies is not the effective way to change them to what you want. Second, I've thoroughly enjoyed my life so far. I have played numerous sports (baseball, football, wrestling, track, Judo, Jun-Sim-Do, as well as intramural sports in college) and I am an avid gamer from the Commodore 64 era (back in the days of bulletin board systems - bbs). Without knowing the details of your "life", I'm fairly confident that mine is on the "positive side" and possibly more interesting than yours.

Circumventing Internet access control systems with web proxies to access unauthorized web sites is a violation of school computer usage policy. You will get suspended and/or banned from using school computers when you get caught. Use school computers for school work, and myspace can wait until you get home. Do you really want your teachers and school administrators knowing what you are posting on myspace anyways?
