History

The school was envisioned in the early 1980s by BGen. Consejo S. Albano and his wife Gertrudes Roxas Trinidad-Albano began as a piano school, then called The Albano Piano School, with lessons conducted by their daughter, Rosalyn T. Albano. With full support from their children, Rey and Marylone Albano, and with financial assistance provided by then Capt. Josemar T. Albano, who was then working overseas as captain on ocean-going vessels, the foundation stone of the school was laid on March 28, 1984, on the occasion of Josemar Albano's birthday.

In 1984, the Holy Trinity Preschool started with 28 children in the family home of the Albanos with Gertrudes as the school head and Rosalyn as the teacher. In 1986, the school opened primary Grades 1-3 and the name of the school was changed to Holy Trinity School. Merlinda Ortega became the first full-time faculty of the school. A parcel of land acquired through the financing of Capt. Josemar Albano allowed the construction of a new building for the primary grades while the original preschool structure was renovated. Rey Albano also joined his mother and sister in the administration of the school, acting as the school's registrar. In 1987, Grade 4-6 were opened to complete the elementary program with more classrooms built to provide for the demand. The next year, in 1988, the High School Department opened enrolling 196 students for the pioneer batch, thus allowing Holy Trinity School to offer the complete Basic Education program.

SY 1989-1990, the school acquired legal personality as Holy Trinity College of General Santos City Inc. when it was registered with the SEC on May 21, 1990. The following degrees were initially offered:

The college department started with an enrollment of 124 students with Capt. Josemar T. Albano retired from the seas to become the first president of Holy Trinity College together with BGen. Consejo S. Albano serving as the first Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The school continued to add more college courses to its program offering more learning and job opportunities for the local population.

In 1995, the graduate school was opened initially with two post-undergraduate courses of Master of Arts in Educational Management and Master of Arts in Guidance Counseling.

In 1996, a new four-story building was constructed to accommodate the Basic Education students and to allow for the creation of many facilities including the library and laboratories. A two-story building was also constructed to serve as a centralized comfort room for the students and staff.

In 1997, Capt. Josemar T. Albano stepped down as president to become the Vice President for Administration to focus on his law studies. He relinquished his position to BGen. Consejo S. Albano, Ed.D.

In 2001, another building was erected to house the chapel, canteen, as well as more classrooms and laboratories.
