Beloved Marquez Charter Elementary School teacher Jeff Lantos, whose award-winning musical history theater program has made him a legend in Pacific Palisades, appears on a new episode of the Palisades Podcast this week with hosts Brook Dougherty and Steve Cron.
Lantos officially retired from teaching in 2016, though the Friends of Marquez booster club hired him back part-time to continue the lauded program.
On the podcast, he talks about his roots in education and music, his many fond years at Marquez, and the somewhat uncertain future of his program amid talks of cutting the musicals down from three annual performances to two.
