Personal Macbook Taken Over By School Admin

I had just recently bought this mac book as a personal device before the school year started. I have had no problems with the mac book until recently when I had logged into my school email and all of a sudden my device is managed by my school. A lot of normal websites are blocked, and I am not able to utilize my mac book to its fullest use. I am also not able to remove this management and have had trouble figuring out how. Does anyone know how? I wan't to fully remove the management of my school from my personal device ASAP.

To augment razmee209's reply, that school effectively now owns that Mac. It is no longer yours. Presumably, you agreed to that transfer of ownership in some fine print somewhere.
