United South Middle School is a middle school located in the southern portion of Laredo, Texas and a part of the United Independent School District. After the construction of its adjacent high school, the United Independent School District decided to construct a middle school under the same name, to fill students that resided in that developing area at that time. In 1999, the school's name changed from "United South Junior High School" to "United South Middle School", as a decision from UISD to rename all junior high schools to middle schools. Due to overcrowdiness of students in the late '90s and the rapid development of neighborhoods in south Laredo, two middle schools were constructed, those being Los Obispos Middle and Gonzalez Middle, to relieve United South, although it is still currently crowded.
USMS' current motto for the 2007-2008 school year is "Aim High for Success".

Famous quotes containing the words united, south, middle and/or school:
“I thought it altogether proper that I should take a brief furlough from official duties at Washington to mingle with you here to-day as a comrade, because every President of the United States must realize that the strength of the Government, its defence in war, the army that is to muster under its banner when our Nation is assailed, is to be found here in the masses of our people.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“If one really wishes to know how justice is administered in a country, one does not question the policemen, the lawyers, the judges, or the protected members of the middle class. One goes to the unprotected—those, precisely, who need the laws’s protection most!—and listens to their testimony.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
