The heritage dimension must be present in schools, if not as an object of study specifically, but as a means of access to other fields of knowledge through interdisciplinary. The goal of this research is to analyze the understandings of the uses, or uses not, of the Nossa Senhora do Socorro Church, as well as heritage property, through the schools of the Tomar Geru / SE city. The temple that is assigned by IPHAN asset value due to its historical significance and national artistic. Thus, the community needs to redirect their knowledge and experiences to the appreciation of this heritage, architectural testimony of the presence of the Society of Jesus in the ancient village of Geru. The researched fields are teachers of multipurpose, history and arts, and students of municipal schools from Tomar do Geru: Valdete Dorea, Albano Franco and Antonio Aguiar Velames. We used the methodological contributions from oral history for the application of interviews to the respondents from a guide of semi-structured questions. The absence of the feeling of appreciation, belonging and ownership of the asset by this community and participants can reflect on the process of transformation and continuity of meanings and uses of this monument and its collections in their historical-temporal trajectory. For this it is essential that education directs forces, develop concrete actions and above all know and continuously build knowledge about the society of which it is part and acts.
