Honoring the Students of Aurora
Since 2009, the city of Aurora has honored one student from each
grade in every school building in Aurora in a citywide ceremony with the
city's mayor and city council, school superintendents and other
designees. Students receive a certificate and medal from city officials.
Students in grades 1 through 12 are selected by the principal and
teachers at their school for being overall first-rate students and
excellent members of the school community. The program is designed to
identify those students in Aurora who strongly contribute to the life
and community of their respective schools. They might be a stellar
student-athlete, a terrific citizen, a high academic achiever, or a
dedicated volunteer. But most importantly, they go above and beyond in
whatever they do best.
It's an opportunity for the city of Aurora, schools, and families to
come together to celebrate the achievements of Aurora's future leaders.
More than 450 students each year in Aurora Public Schools, Cherry Creek
Schools, and charter, parochial and private schools are honored annually
through the Aurora Scholars program.
The 2024-25 Aurora Scholars ceremonies will take place April15 to 17, 2025.
