AJ Boik Spirit Award
Every year at Gateway we award a junior or senior with the AJ Boik Spirit Award. AJ tragically lost his life in the Aurora Theater Shooting on July 20, 2012, just two months after he graduated from Gateway. We honor his memory by recognizing a student who demonstrates similar qualities and characteristics. AJ was incredibly talented (an artist, athlete and a musician), could make anyone laugh, cared deeply for others, was gregarious and had the most school spirit.
Staff and students nominate the student that embody his legacy.
