Thomas Jefferson High School just started implementing the Fifth Sun framework
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.
