The purpose of the CPO three fold according to the revised CPO Constitution & By-Laws. In Article II, Sec. 1-4 it states:

Section 1:

To support the choral programs as established by the music staff and administration of the Center Grove Community School Corporation

Section 2:

To assist in raising funds to support the financial needs of Center Grove High School choirs not provided by the Center Grove Community School Corporation.

Section 3:

To provide parental assistance to the choral department when needed.
