Hi, I remember once learning the word “depress” in third grade in my advanced class as in “to depress a button”. I’ve only ever heard “press a button”, does anyone still use “depress” in the context of to press down on?

Yes, generally either as you said for “depressing” something, or when referring to a valley or a void in something as a “depression”.
