Welcome to the home for Friends of Marquez (FOM)
Returning home to the Palisades was just the beginning.
Captured here by a real rainbow over our interim grounds, our journey back home has been a true testament
to our community’s resilience and care. Our deep gratitude goes to our dedicated families, alumni, teachers, staff,
and LAUSD for leading us into this exciting new chapter and helping our school flourish both inside and out.
