CATA PTSO, The Cougar Council

  • We plan together, we work together, and our children will succeed together.

    The Cougar Council is Central Academy's Parent-Teacher-Student Organization (PTSO) and was founded in October 2007. The PTSO works to support the teachers, administrators, and students. We provide teacher appreciation luncheons and celebrate their birthdays monthly, recognize student achievements, and recognize our bus drivers, custodial, and lunch staff.  Please join us!

    Do you have interests or a special talent that you are willing to share with us?  Come join us and let’s make great strides for the future of our CATA cougars! Contact catacougarcouncil@gmail.com for more information about getting involved.
