Welcome to The Cerritos PTO!

The Cerritos PTO sponsors fundraisers and events throughout the school year for the students and teachers at Cerritos. We are volunteers who come together to work on programs that benefit the educational experience of our children.

Activities are all volunteer-run and we operate on a budget developed through our fundraising efforts. The Executive Board consists of 11 parent-filled positions and 3 positions filled by Cerritos staff. There are over 30 committees that work throughout the school year.
