In recognition of their hard work last year Mr. Thompson rewarded the efforts of senior Lenny Calvo, junior Patrick Gamiao, and sophomore Brian Anderson with an appreciation lunch on August 18, 2016 along with their parents at Proa resaturant in Hagatna.
The boys made student of the quarter last school year and we look forward to their success this year. Good luck boys.
In addition, the FD Administration and members of our faithful FD community awarded scholarships to seven students yesterday afternoon.
Here are a list of the scholarships and the donor information and a message from the Executive Director of the Endowment Foundation, Mr Felix Reyes.
Father Dueñas Memorial Schools’ mission is to provide the highest caliber instruction to Guam’s young men; preparing them for college and life.
By expanding and providing its financial aid program, FDMS is a whole lot more affordable to academically gifted and talented boys who want to be challenged and are focused on their future. It also eases the financial burden on their parents.
Our alumni are successful leaders and pillars in the religious, business, and civic spheres of our community as they return to the island to serve as clergymen, legislators, judges, doctors, lawyers, engineers, business men, lifelong educators, and family men. All students pursue the most rigorous track of courses – a college preparatory curriculum whose courses are considered honors.
We are fortunate and very grateful to our FDMS family, including the FD Endowment Foundation, the FD Alumni Association, and the parents, for their continued support and care.
This school year, we offer scholarships whose funding sources come mostly from FDMS alumni, but also from benefactors who love and care for our school.
We thank Dr. and Mrs. Ramel A. Carlos, Dr. Tom Robinson, Sonny Ada, Jeff and Jay Jones, N. Oscar Miyashita, and many others who continue to donate towards a robust financial aid program that include our namesake Father Jesus Baza Dueñas Scholarship.
The scholarship was created and funded by Dr. and Mrs. Ramel A. Carlos, M.D. in honor of their son, Noel Bien Carlos, FDMS Class of 2014. This is a competitive scholarship established to provide financial support to FDMS’ most deserving students who are good citizens, demonstrated financial need and have the academic ability to excel in their studies at FDMS.
FDMS created this scholarship named after the native Chamorro priest who gave his life near the end of World War II to protect the life of another. Father Jesus Baza Dueñas is also the namesake of our school, and as such, this scholarship seeks to uphold the virtues of selflessness and faithfulness that characterized Father Dueñas, the priest, as well as formed the founding purpose of Father Dueñas Memorial School.
This scholarship was established in support of the academically able students who are good citizens and dedicated to serving others; who have demonstrated leadership in the FDMS and Catholic Church community and with a financial need.
