Thank you for making Cerritos your school of choice; you are now officially Cerritos Roadrunner and part of a wonderful community of leaders. As a Leader in Me School, our families discover and practice a set of leadership and life skills from Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. The 7 Habits are: Be Proactive, Begin With the End in Mind, Put First Things First, Think Win-Win, Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood, Synergize and Sharpen the Saw.
