Thomas Jefferson High School just started implementing the Fifth Sun framework

We're a team of creatives, digital natives, and alumni of LAUSD driven by a singular mission: fostering stronger, more digitally connected school & non-profit communities.

About

How it all started

As LAUSD alumni from a low-income community, we experienced firsthand the challenges of digital disconnection between parents, students, and school communities. Finding resources and information on school websites was often difficult and frustrating. Inspired by these challenges, we decided to create a solution that benefits all stakeholders. Our goal is to make it easier for schools to promote themselves and tell their unique stories effectively while ensuring the community can engage with the school more seamlessly. Through our innovative approach, we bridge the digital gap, fostering stronger connections and improving access to essential information for everyone involved.

Meet Marco

Marco Vargas, our CEO, is a proud LAUSD alumnus who grew up in a low-income community. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by schools and their communities, Marco is passionate about bridging the digital divide. His vision and leadership drive our mission to create innovative, user-friendly websites that enhance school communication and engagement, making a positive impact on students, parents, and educators alike.

Meet Pablo

Pablo Gonzalez, our COO, also hails from a low-income community and is an LAUSD alumnus. With a background in operational management and a commitment to improving educational experiences, Pablo ensures our projects run smoothly and efficiently. His dedication to fostering strong community ties and enhancing digital accessibility drives our mission to create impactful and user-friendly solutions for schools and their stakeholders.
