HistoryThe college was established in 1941 by the Negombo Dharmadutha Association. The college was named as a tribute to Walisinghe Harischandra who was born in the village. Establishing the college on 4 January 1942 fulfilled the requirement for a Buddhist High School in Negombo. The land was gifted by C. L. A. de Silva. The land was in front of Anghurukaramulla Bhodirajarhama Temple. The name "Harischandra School" was proposed by member H. W. Amarasuriya. It started with five children housed in a cojan roof building. As a tribute to Harischandra, from an idea of businessman Nial Ranasinghe, a statue was commissioned.
