History
The college was first established as Kabankalan Kinder School in June 1981. It had an initial enrollment of 110 students. With the support of ACSO and the success the educational institution, there were calls for Kabankalan Kinder School to expand to cater to higher levels as the children progress. With the help of a US-based missions supporter, Eng. Dick Clemins, along with other local and foreign supporters, grade school and high school buildings were added. As a response to the technical-vocational needs of the time, the Todd Vocational School was opened.
