Dr. Leslie A. Wheeler
Wheeler Fieldhouse
A graduate of the Texas Dental School, Dr. Leslie A. Wheeler moved to Sugar Land in 1939 to practice dentistry. He was a member of the Sugar Land Independent School District Board of Education and was instrumental in the successful efforts to consolidate Sugar Land and Missouri City School Districts by election in April 1959. He was one of the Sugar Land Board Members designated to serve on the Fort Bend ISD Board of Education and served as president until April 1965. In April 1966, he did not seek re-election which ended his 18 years of service as a School Board Member. In addition to serving on the School Board, Wheeler was also a dedicated mason and an active member of the Lions Club. While serving as president of the Lions Club, he doubled the club membership in a single year by using his charm and wit. He also served as an announcer for the school district’s varsity football games and was known in Fort Bend County as an authority on organic produce.
