Is your LC student a natural leader? Do they care about creating a positive school community in their middle school years? Then they are a great applicant for our ASB Leadership Class at Los Cerritos for the 2025-26 school year.
This year students have been able to participate in leadership opportunities with building teamwork and strong leadership character through the Fulcrum program.
The leadership students have also been engaging in our school curriculum of Character Strong focused on why character and leadership are so important.
The leadership class also plans, coordinates, fundraises, and creates our positive, inclusive, and energetic Los Cerritos culture. We have had additional rally’s this school year, have more prizes, more lunch time activities, sports and clubs because of our Leadership at LC.
