On September 22, the Spanish classes participated in a documentary contest to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations. The contest was sponsored by the Hispanic Heritage Association of Guam and the San Vítores FDMS Spanish NHS Chapter.
FDMS held the Back to Back School Dance inviting everyone to come and have fun. For a fair price of $7, guests were treated to different activities and events that made the entry fee worth it. Guests were able to enjoy themselves, drinking at the punch bowl and treating themselves to a variety of snacks. Other than dancing, guests of the dance were also able to have fun with their friends and dates in a fun game of laser tag. Not one, but two bouncy houses were present to allow the guests jump around after dancing. Then they could create memories they could all remember at the photo booth. Finally, guests were treated to live performances from Jonah Guerrero and Skip.

On Monday, September 11, 2017 in the morning assembly within the Phoenix Center, the FDMS JROTC Program hosted a 9/11 and POW/MIA commemorative ceremony.

Things that were done in the event include playing of Taps, and the shooting of air rifles. Overall, the event was reverend and respectful. The FDMS JROTC program did a great job in showing their discipline and preciseness during the ceremony.

Just to name some of the few colleges that were present that day: University of Guam, University of Notre Dame, Tufts University, Temple University, and many others.
The defending IIAAG Football champion FD Friars continued their winning ways with yet another big victory. The Friars prove still the team to beat, getting a huge 37-6 victory over the Tiyan Titans at Angels Field in Dededo.
