Miss Cerritos Scholarship Contest

Miss Cerritos is a Scholarship Contest and not a pageant. This is a professional development opportunity that provides young women with growth opportunities by helping them to develop professional business skills and contacts for their future. Every year, Miss Cerritos represents the Cerritos Regional Chamber of Commerce at grand openings, ribbon cuttings and community–wide events. The 2008 Miss Cerritos is Sheila Tejada and the 2008 Princess is BrieAnna Gomez.

The 2009 Miss Cerritos Scholarship Contest will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2009 from 5:00-7:00 pm at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts - Sierra Room.
