Aurora Public Schools is thrilled to announce that
Casey Powell, our dedicated Athletics and Activities Director, has earned the prestigious SHAPE Colorado 2024 Athletic Director of the Year Award!
This distinguished honor recognizes Powell for his tireless commitment to elevating physical education and promoting a culture of health and fitness among students. From inspiring young athletes to creating lasting impacts within our schools, Powell embodies the passion and dedication that define excellence in the athletics and activities field.
Powell’s influence extends beyond the classroom and into the heart of our community. Thanks to his relentless efforts and voter support of our 2016 bond, our beloved APS Stadium now features a state-of-the-art 20-foot by 30-foot video board, a new turf field emblazoned with the new APS logo, a new track surface and revamped concession stands. The $3 million enhancements have transformed our stadium into a premier facility, reflecting Powell's vision and devotion to providing top-tier resources for our students and community.
Powell will be officially honored and celebrated as Athletic Director of the Year at an upcoming SHAPE Colorado Convention. We are incredibly proud of Powell for his contributions toward making Aurora Public Schools THE Destination District.
