AuroraTV began highlighting Student Athletes of the Month from Aurora Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District during the 2025–26 school year.

This special edition of Aurora Now looks back at all twenty athletes featured throughout the year, from those recognized at the start of the fall season to the spring athletes who recently wrapped up their seasons.

The series was a tremendous success, thanks in large part to the collaboration and support of both school districts.

Along the way, viewers got to know these student athletes not only through their accomplishments in sports, but also in the classroom and in their lives outside of school. 

AuroraTV plans to continue the series when the 2026–27 school year begins this fall.
