Malcolm Paul Hébert, Sr. (October 25, 1926 – September 23, 2006), was a mechanical engineer who served from 1973 to 1977 as the last commissioner of streets and parks in Alexandria, Louisiana, a citywide elected position which was abolished with a change in the city charter.
Hébert was born in Monroe in Ouachita Parish in northeastern Louisiana, one of three children of Maxime Paul Hébert and the former Linda Talbot. He had two sisters, Maxine Hébert Meadows of Alexandria and Betty Hébert Thompson of Lake Charles. The family soon relocated to Alexandria, where he resided for most of his life. In 1943, he graduated in the top third of his class from the Roman Catholic-affiliated Holy Savior Menard Central High School, then known as Menard Memorial High School. There, Hébert was a drum major and played football. After high school, he became an apprentice machinist for the since dis-established Missouri Pacific Railroad, in which capacity he joined the International Association of Machinists union. Soon he enlisted in the United States Navy near the end of World War II and volunteered for submarine service on the USS Ling, which was operational from 1945 to 1946. Hébert studied in the Naval Diesel Training School in Gulfport, Mississippi, and the Submarine School in New London, Connecticut.
