History of Doña Montserrat Lopez Memorial High School
Doña Montserrat Lopez Memorial High School began as a city high school during the incumbency of then-Mayor Natalio G. Velez (1968-1986). At that time, the school was located near the Silay South Elementary School. It was envisioned to accommodate poor but deserving elementary school graduates and consequently offered free tuition.
The school later became known as the Silay City National High School. After the donation of a parcel of land was made by the affluent Lopez family for the new school edifice, the school was renamed in honor of Doña Montserrat Lopez.
Maria Faith Montserrat Lopez was one of the richest women in Negros Occidental in the 1930’s. Educated in Spain, she married Rico Barbona, a poor farmer from Cadiz City in the late 1950’s. They had three children. She died of heart cancer in the late 1960’s.
