From 1951 -1956, the Religious of the Virgin Mary Sisters (RVM) laid the foundation upon which the school was founded. The Foreign Mission Society of Quebec (PME Fathers) from 1957 –... 1976 strengthened and improved these structures. And the Archdiocese of Davao from 1976 up to the present, building on the traditions of its predecessors, expanded them to make the Holy Cross of Davao College a prime college in the city of Davao, providing affordable quality Catholic education not only to the people of the city but also to the neighboring provinces.
The college has also expanded physically. A new four-storey building was completed in Bajada for the high school department which was housed together with the college department in the Sta. Ana campus. In 2006 the department was transferred to the Bajada campus. To accommodate the growing number of students, the HRM Building was constructed in 2010.
