This study aims at investigating how Health at Schools project, which is proposed by Caxias` Education Secretariat, in association with Health Secretariat, was accepted and developed by a government school. It attempted to understand how the school plans and develops its sexual educational program and if it offers the students a range of possibilities so that they can construct and experience automously their sexual identities. The data were collected by documental analysis, interviews, questionaries, observation and focus groups. It verified opinions of the three planners, three workshop leaders, two educational counselors, one school director, eight teachers and six students. The analysis of the results allowed us to identify a concern in developing a sexual orientation program focusing on human rights, respect towards the others and culture emphasizing self care, health care and disease prevention, as well as, multiple sexuality possibilities among youth. This research was mainly based on Stuart Hall´s identity conception, Luiz Paulo Moita Lopes` and Tomaz Tadeu da Silva`s socioconstructivist identity approach, Deborah Britzman`s,Guacira Louro`s, Jeffrey Weeks`and Judith Butler`s sexualities conceptions, as well as Elizabeth Badinter`s and Robert Connell`s ways of thinking masculinities. The study concluded that both discourse and practice emphasized during the development of the Health at Schools project and Sexual Orientation Program, besides aiming at health quality, also meant to promote sexual identity construction and sexual experiences.
