The City Government of Ligao turned over the two-storey building with 12 classrooms to Ligao East Central School (LECS) on June 6, 2014. Lead by City Mayor Patricia Gonzalez-Alsua and Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Evangeline P. Palencia, the symbolic key was turned over to LECS Principal Alex M. Alano.

The construction of the two-storey building began during the administration of former Ligao City Mayor Linda P. Gonzalez. According to her, the vertical construction of the two-storey school facility was the best strategy they could have since LECS has very limited space.

Congressman Fernando V. Gonzalez also congratulated the City Government of Ligao for having the project accomplished. The cityhood of Ligao paved the way to many opportunities including higher budget allocation to the local government, according to Congressman Gonzalez. This also gave way to many opportunities for facility improvements and government projects including the replacement of old and obsolete classrooms.

Dr. Palencia also extended her commitment to work hard to maintain the good standing of Ligao City. She also mentioned that Ligao City is getting high results in the National Achievement Test (NAT) and it has gathered the most gold medals among other divisions in Region V during the Palarong Pambansa.

Beside the two-storey building is an on-going construction of additional ten classrooms for the school. Each classroom has a capacity of at least 25-35 students.
