How long ago was this? There were a couple websites we could use to go around school censors when I was in middle school (hidemyass, lmao) but I definitely don't remember https being a workaround. For reference my experience was between 2005 and 2008.

Graduated HS in 2015. It actually got less secure one year when they migrated to a shittier firewall, the original firewall didn't have the HTTPS vulnerability lmao
