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".

“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
