This study approaches the "Health in School Program in the current context of Brazilian Educational Policies". Based on the history of the development of the public health and education policy scenario, Brazil has a slow development, so the PSE has the important mission of integrating Educational Policies and the National Primary Care Policy to jointly seek, through health promotion and education, the quality of life of the population served. Considering that each place has its own characteristics and culture, health practices at school can guarantee shared constructions of knowledge supported in individual and collective histories, evaluating the different contexts in which they are carried out, respecting popular and formal knowledge, in the construction of proposals that make sense to the people who live there. To this end, the active participation of the various members of the school community, health professionals and especially adolescents and young people in the construction of the PSE Project is fundamental, since innovative health education actions should progressively be incorporated in the Plan Educational Policy of the school, according to Ordinance nº 1,861 / 2008.
