This article aims to point out the process of institutionalization of sociology in the Brazilian high school, marked by intermittence between compulsory, optionality and complete lack of the discipline in schools. That for it was made a quick history of sociology in high school and it was discussed the challenges faced by the field of sociology and social sciences in relation to the discipline teaching. It was attempted to map also the academic literature on the sociology in high school from the publications of papers presented in the Congress of the following associations: ANPOCS (National Association for Research and Graduate Studies in Social Sciences); ANPED (National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Education) and SBS (Brazilian Society of Sociology). In conclusion, the challenges faced by the field are numerous, among them are: the discussion about the undergraduated courses and the relationship between bachelor's degrees and teacher training; the question about the course curriculum; teaching materials; few hours class in high school and the need to consolidate a specific area of research on the sociology of education not only in education programs, but especially in Sociology and/or Social Sciences programs.

Keywords : Sociology; Educational Sociology; Sociology and High School.
