Sioux Falls' newest elementary school, currently under construction just southeast of George McGovern Elementary School, will be named for a woman who dedicated her life to service. Marcella LeBeau Elementary School. Marcella LeBeau was born in October 1919 in Promise, South Dakota on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation. Throughout her life she served as an elder, politician, nurse, and military veteran. A committee made up of 25 members, including students, parents, teachers, community members, administrators, and a school board member reviewed hundreds of suggestions. They choose Marcella LeBeau for her humble, yet impactful service. In speaking about her life's accomplishments, Marcella LeBeau stated, "It was the greatest honor of my life to serve." A groundbreaking for Marcella LeBeau Elementary was held this past spring. The school is expected to open in Fall 2025.
