The emphasis in Secondary Education is due to the condition of this is the last stage from the basic education, being a defining moment for the compliance of the legal provisions about quality education expressed in the guidelines as a nation project concepts. In this sense, it is analyzed the possibilities and challenges of public policies about education in relation to the construction of citizenship at school and its relationship to the state, society, democracy and participation. To this end, a basic education school was inserted in the context of analysis, and documents, such as the Political Pedagogical Project and the teacher s secondary education course plans have been used as a source of collecting data as an attempt to identify, in the documents of the school, the relationship between citizenship and educational processes. The metodology adopted to implement the research was the document analysis, starting with the official documents in order to link this research to the study of the institution\'s own documents. The research has been organized from the national policy taken from the 1990s, considering the issue of democracy and the implementation of national curriculum guidelines. Finally, we present considerations about the official documents analysis, particularly the National Secondary Education Curriculum Guidelines, raising relevant issues presented in the pedagogical proposal of the school and the teachers\' course plans, and being possible to verify the principles and purposes of the documents forms built up in the school pedagogical practice.
