STATEHOUSE (Jan 9, 2024) – Henry County legislators invite Hoosier students to sign up and experience a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2024 legislative session.
According to State Rep. Cory Criswell (R-Middletown), Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 can sign up to be a House page and assist state lawmakers and Statehouse staff with daily duties while having the opportunity to tour the governor's office, the Supreme Court, and House and Senate chambers.
"House pages have a great opportunity to learn about state government while getting to experience the legislative process firsthand," Criswell said. "Students will learn how a bill becomes law, watch legislators debate bills and view session live from the House floor."
State Rep. Brad Barrett (R-Richmond) said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"As the 2024 legislative session gets underway, I hope students from our community get the chance to join us at the Statehouse," Barrett said. "Getting to know pages is one of my favorite parts of the legislative session."
"It's always great to see the educational experience that House pages get during their time here," said State Rep. J.D. Prescott (R-Union City). "The House Page Program is always a unique and exciting time for local students visiting our state's Capitol."
Interested Hoosier students or parents can visit indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram to fill out the online application and select a day to participate during the 2024 legislative session, which began Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14. Individual page opportunities will be on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule a large group, please reach out to the page program by calling 317-232-9410 or emailing pageprogram@iga.in.gov. Large groups will be scheduled for Wednesdays only.
Students will be responsible for their own lunch along with transportation to and from the Statehouse located in downtown Indianapolis.
