I don´t know how to use "require" well. Hod do I straighten out this sentence:

- Some companies require from their secretaries that they must have at least graduated from high school.

There are several ways to say that.

Try:

  • Some companies require that their secretaries have a high school diploma.

Or:

  • Some companies require that their secretaries have graduated from high school.

It is not usual to say require from, but you can use it like this: "I will require ten dollars from you before you can take it home."
