In 1954, the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Conception (MIC) accepted the invitation of the late Most Reverend Clouis Thibault, P.M.E., then bishop of the prelature of Davao, to open a school in Padada, Davao del Sur.

Shortly after their arrival, the sisters started the construction of the school with the help of Father Paul Gravel, P.M.E., who was then the parish priest of the Padada. The school was formally opened in the school year 1954-1955. Sister Claire del Eucharistie, M.I.C., was the first directress, and Sister Genevieve St. Pierre, M.I.C., was her assistant.

The school changed names three times in its first 25 years. It was first known as St. Michael's Academy (SMA). When a college department was opened, it became St. Michael's College (SMC). When the college was phased out, it became Saint Michael's School of Padada (SMSP).

As in all religious institutions, the M.I.C sisters underwent a renewal program and re-evaluated their work in the Philippines. In 1980, the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary formally took over the administration of SMSP.
