History
In 1929, the Bishop Singzon Institute was established in Catbalogan, Samar. It was a parochial school named in honor of Bishop Pablo Singzon of Calbiga, the first bishop of Samar and the diocese of Calbayog.
In July 1945, the late Msgr. Miguel Acebedo who was then the bishop of Calbayog, invited the RVM Sisters to take over the management of the institute. The RVM congregation sent two sisters namely Sister Ma. Sousa and Sister Ma. Josefina Contreras with the former being designated as the first superior of the RVM community in Catbalogan. The old convent of the parish of Catbalogan was reconstructed into a dual-purpose building, that of a school and quarters for the RVM sisters.
In July 1946, the name of the institute was changed to Sacred Heart Junior College and later in 1948 it was changed again to Sacred Heart College.
By 1950, the school received government recognition of its high school program and in 1992, it started to offer five undergraduate programs. SMCC currently provides Basic and Higher Education programs. College students can choose four-year courses in the areas of Business Administration, Teacher Education, and Computer Science. Senior High School students, on the other hand, can choose their strands from the Academic and the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) tracks. Additionally, Saint Mary's College of Catbalogan has TESDA-accredited courses in Computer Hardware Servicing, Housekeeping, and Programming.[4]
