Gary Duenas Memorial Scholarship Fund
This scholarship was started by the Diamond Bar High School Class of 1985 to honor his memory.
While his students realize that they could never truly repay “Mr. D” (as he was affectionately known), the scholarship is but a small token of their appreciation for all the help he gave us during and after high school.
The scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior at Diamond Bar High School, who best lives up to the standards Mr. Duenas had for all his students.
Mr D passed away on September 2005. He was loved by many and will always be remembered.
