The history of La Consolacion College goes back to March 12, 1919 when the first group of Augustinian sisters with Sister Tomasa de la Sagrada Familia as superior, arrived in Bacolod, after a two year sojourn in Sibalom, Antique where the presence of a Catholic school was strongly opposed by the Aglipayans. 

The Bishop's Palace then became its first school building, where ten years later, LCC graduated its first batch of Grade School and High School students. March of 1929 marked the first graduation. 

From the Bishop's residence, LCC moved along Justicia and Washington Streets (Now Galo and Gatuslao) where an imposing two storey L-shaped school building was constructed. With the rise of this new structure, LCC offered its first collegiate course, the elementary Teacher's Certificate in 1938. 

Through the war years, the school was abandoned temporarily. It was during this time that LCC suffered some set-backs until its restoration from the invading aliens in 1943. this was under Sister Evangelista de San Agustin who had contributed greatly to the school's resurgence from the remains of World War II to keep abreast with the sprawling and expanding Bacolod.
