This paper presents the results of a research inserted in the field of the history of institutions, that is focused in rewriting the history of secondary education. In this context it is sought to understand the historical process of implementation and consolidation of secondary education in educational institution of the southern state of Mato Grosso in the period between 1939 and 1971. This period was determined by the beginning operation of the school and also by the Law 5692 of 1971, which changed the organization of primary and secondary education. So, to make this research the methodology used combines data from literature search on the secondary education as well as from the selection and analysis of books, chapters of books, academic articles, dissertation and theses. These latter were selected according to their object of study, the institution referred to in this text. Data from a documentary research has complemented this exercise, with documents selected in that school fi le, like: Congregation Reports; Minute Books; Registration Books for entrance exams; register books of teachers. It is pointed out, as a conclusion, that this Institution’s history indicates that the high school’s “democratization” contributed to the  social rise of the educated urban middle classes who, by appropriating this “luxury”, were enabled to insert themselves into the group of leaders.
