I am a student at Louisburg Middle School, I am also a newcomer to Louisburg, and I LOVE it! I love all the teachers, and their sense of humor! The teachers help you understand what your learning and how to do it is easy,you can also join in art, technology, keyboarding, choir, and Family and Consumer Science, other known as FACS!! Almost 50 students exceeded in the state tests, and the Faculty and Parents, and STUCO (student council) run a dance! Chaperone's needed! So Louisburg ROCKS! Every month their is a pep rally, a 'student of the month' award, and the CATS come to the seminar classes.LMS!!!!!!!!
