According to some members of an alumni group concerned about the selection of a new principal for Father Duenas High School, the proposal of Fr. Eric Forbes, O.F.M. as principal was passed over due to the Archbishop's preference that the school be administered by a religious order.
Apparently one of the religious orders currently considering
taking over the administration of "FD" is a Dominican order from the Philippines .
However, one of the main reasons Father
Duenas High
School was reportedly established was to help build a base for
the recruitment of young men to the priesthood for the needs of the island of Guam
In response to the Archbishop's expressed desire that the
school be administered by a religious order, one alumni member has reported
that Fr. Joseph English, O.F.M, the Vice-Provincial of Vice-Province of Star of
the Sea for Guam and Hawaii Capuchins, has approached the Archbishop with an
offer for the Capuchins to take over the administration of the school.
Currently, Fr. Jeff San Nicolas has been appointed Principal in the interim.
As of July 30, 2012,
there is no further news. Be sure to check back.

20th anniversary of his ordination
