The contribution of municipalities to the expansion of high school education puts into discussion the intricate political game that involved the democratization of secondary education in Brazil. This paper proposes to analyze the forms of acting of the municipal public power in the development of high school education in the state of São Paulo from 1930 to 1964, when there was a dramatic growth of the public junior and senior high schools. The analysis initially falls on high schools and free municipal teacher-training schools created by the First Republic in Brazil. Then, the paper goes on to examine the systematic compensatory measures demanded of the municipal governments by the state governments for creating the high schools between 1932 and 1947. Finally, the study problematizes the expansion of public high schools in the state of São Paulo in the country´s redemocratization period (1945-1964) highlighting the political game redefined by the relationships between state representatives and the local political leaderships.

Keywords : Secondary School Education (High Schools); The Role of Municipal Governments in Public Education; High Schools.
