History
The school was initially one of the political plans of Jose Maravilla, a former politician in Silay City. The plan was raised to his platforms inasmuch as the city didn't have any public high school. Unfortunately, Maravilla lost, but the plan was recognized and approved by the city council under the incumbency of then-Mayor Natalio G. Velez. The school was established on July 8, 1968 with its first principal Mr. Marcelo Jalando-on. At that time, the school was located at the backyard of the Silay South Elementary School. It was envisioned to accommodate poor but deserving elementary school graduates, and consequently offered free tuition. In 1972, Mrs. Amparo Ledesma became the principal of the school, after Jalando-on transferred to La Carlota City College as its new prexy. On July 1, 1975, the school earned its national status and was renamed as Silay City National High School. In 1979, Don Claudio Lopez donated almost 7 hectares of land along the national highway of Brgy. Rizal; the present location of the school. The school later changed its name to Doña Montserrat Lopez Memorial High School, in honor of the donor's wife. [4]
