Centner Academy PTO

Welcome to Our PTO

The Centner Academy Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the school's mission of providing a high-quality education to its students.

Our work is centered on enhancing the student experience and strengthening the school community. We are a group of parents committed to the health, well-being, and learning of the "whole child," helping to provide students with the experiences and skills they need to become lifelong learners and critical thinkers.
