Your first option is to convince your school's technology tech to install wireless internet in your school. It may help if you offer to "donate" your wireless router to that effort. You second option is to buy special hardware for your computer and then subscribe to internet through your cellphone company.

The problem with this method is that you will need to consult with your school's technology tech to make sure that you have access to your email, grade book, etc. Does this help?
