States for three decades. Designed by architect George M. Lindsey in the Collegiate Gothic style, and constructed in 1930, John Marshall High School first opened its doors on January 26, 1931, with approximately 1,200 students and 48 teachers. Following the Sylmar earthquake of 1971, some of Marshall's buildings were condemned. The cafeteria was torn down, but the Los Feliz community tirelessly campaigned to save the unique main building. In 1975, this building was closed for structural strengthening and all classes moved to temporary bungalows. In September 1980 the refurbished Main Building was opened. Celebrities who went to school here include Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Phillips. Movies filmed here include Grease, La Bamba, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and School of Rock.
