I just started taking all sorts of classes in web design, but I need help and my teacher can't help me out. What is the code to make a message board? Someone please help out a newbe, I don't want to put up my first sight without adding a MB. I use html to right out most of my sights code. But some of it is javascript (I saved word documents as web pages).

I assume by "message board" you mean something that behaves roughly the same as the core functionality of Tek-Tips.
I mean to say that I assume that a message board allows a user to type some text, upload it to the server, and that text will then become visible to that user and others.
So, if my assumption of your meaning is correct, it will require some method of reading the uploaded data and saving it on the web server.
My recommendation is to use a pre-made message board system. Search on google and you will find everything from free simple systems to expesnive complex ones. I would caution against using a messageboard of this type as your first programming project.

Another clarification...
The javascript and html that you have learned so far are rendered within the browser client program.
Server-side scripting is a different animal because of the differences in roles/responsibilities of the web browser versus the web server. It is possible to write server-side script with javascript, but you are dealing with a completely different object model.
I feel like I am not explaining this very well.
