Established on March 12, 1919 as Colegio de la Señora de la Consolacion by three Augustinian sisters – Sor Tomasa de la Sagrada Familia, Sor Maria Teresa de Jesus and Sor Alfonsa de la Santisima Trinidad, the college is the oldest institution of higher education in the province.[1]

The school has three patrons - Our Lady of Consolation, St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Monica.

History

Upon the request of Jaro Bishop, Dennis Dougherty, the three sisters began apostolate work in Negros due to the significant Aglipayan presence in the province. On July 15, 1919, Colegio de la Señora de la Consolacion accepted its first 86 students, 36 of whom were interns who lived in the school dormitory. It started as an all-girls school.

The school is named in honor of the Virgin Mary, Consoler of the Afflicted.

Special classes in Math and Science are offered, Advanced Math and Science to students part of the Crème Section starting from the Freshmen Batch of 2011–2012. Religious education is also implemented in the education system along with bookkeeping, animation and film making applied. A strict rule is followed that if such student who gets 78 and below, not below than 76 in their report card are required to take remedial classes, students who receive an average below 78 at the end of the year, he or she is required to take remedial classes in the summer.

By the school year 2012–2013, a policy was pushed by the administration to utilize personal computers and the Internet in the curriculum. This policy led to the adoption of the DIWA learning system - GENYO e-learning System, which prompted the change of the classroom setting in the core subjects. Furthermore, plasma TVs and audio-visual materials used in teaching students were encouraged after the Galo wing renovation of the Integrated School Building was done. Changes in time schedules were also made - from the traditional 7:30am until 5:00pm (the most 5:30pm) class schedules, the new 8:00am–4:00pm class schedules was adopted. Wifi hot spots and public computers were installed in the College campus for students to use in their academic needs.

Night High School

Four (4) Year High School Education based on the 2011 Basic Education Curriculum is also followed in the Night High School Program. The students who are enrolled in this program are financially challenged but deserving ones. The method of teaching applied is not limited to tutorials given by teachers but students are expected to learn on their own as there is limitation to tutorials and lectures given by the teachers. Teachers who teach in this program are volunteers from the education departments of the institution. Classes usually start after the class hours of the Integrated School.

The buildings that composes the campus are the Basic Education Department Building divided into two wings, the Mother Consuelo Barcelo Activities Center, the main college building, the Sta. Monica Building and the quadrangle.

LCCB Swim Center

The school has a swim center that is full of water. The water is clean and chlorine is periodically used to ensure the cleanliness of the water. Every summer, where temperatures drastically increase, water level drops causing the so-called "low tide phenomena." Water is the most precious element of life without water, life would not exist, therefore, think before you act. If you're feeling hot, don't waste water, just go to Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines. You know, water is good, but for me, there's vitwater. Now you know.

SHTM Campus

The SHTM Campus composes of Culinary Arts Facilities and classrooms for the SHTM students.
