Paul Breaux Middle school started as an elementary school, later became a high school, and finally made the change to middle school. Paul Breaux has a football field and track, boy's and girl's gyms, a main building, a French building, a cafeteria, and a gifted building. The main building holds most of the academic classes and the gifted building is for gifted classes only. Because it was a high school, it actually gives the students the feel and room of traveling on a high school campus.
