History

SPAMAST traces its roots from Malita Barangay High School when it was created through Municipal Ordinance No. 70 on 1966. On July 5, 1968 through Municipal Resolution No. 80, it became the “Malita High School" which offered a complete secondary curriculum. In 1969, a Marcos–type building with 10 rooms was constructed in a two-hectare lot donated by Mrs. Juanita De Salmon.

On February 8, 1982 through Batas Pambansa Bilang 148, the Malita High School was converted into a state college known as the “Malita Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology” (MAMAST). Engr. Ramon M. Barbon became the first College President.

On March 9, 1984, the Batas Pambansa Bilang 65 changed the name of MAMAST to “Southern Philippines Agri-Business, Marine and Aquatic School of Technology (SPAMAST)” to expand its scope and interest in the fields of agriculture and fisheries.

In 1989, SPAMAST acquired an 8-hectare land in Buhangin, Malita which is now the College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) Campus. In 1992, the Provincial Government of Davao del Sur donated a 5.4-hectare land in Brgy. Matti, Digos City for the establishment of the Digos Campus. In 1993, a 1.5-hectare land was acquired by the college along the shoreline fronting the Malita Campus.[ citation needed ]
