Congratulations to the 2026 Class of Alvin ISD AIMS—Alvin, Iowa Colony, Manvel, and Shadow Creek— Athletic Award Nominees!
Now in its third year, the AIMS Awards returns to recognize those who embody the heart of AISD Athletics—integrity, service, excellence, and leadership—both in and out of their sport.
“As a district, we are proud to host an event that goes beyond celebrating athletic achievement," Assistant Athletic Director Carla Newsom said. "It's important for us to also honor who these students are when the game is over: successful scholars, respectful people, dedicated volunteers, and leaders in their schools and communities."
Finalists from every sport have been chosen, along with nominees for special honors like Beyond the Game, Comeback Athlete of the Year, and Scholar Athlete of the Year. There will also be a chance for family and friends to submit votes for Fan Favorite Athlete of the Year the week before the event.
