STATEHOUSE — State Representative Todd Huston (R-Fishers) is encouraging Hoosier students to apply for the Indiana House Page Program. The program offers students 13 to 18 years old the chance to visit the Statehouse and see a full day of legislative activity.
“Each session, I look forward to meeting all the student pages that participate in the program from our community,” said Rep. Huston. “This program offers a unique experience to visit and learn about the Statehouse, and I hope that every student takes advantage of this incredible opportunity.
In addition to visiting the Statehouse, pages have the opportunity to tour locations like Governor Pence’s office, the Indiana Supreme Court and both the House and Senate chambers to list a few. Pages also have the opportunity to observe floor sessions and committee meetings as well as help legislative staff members. Students who serve as pages are excused from school for the day and are responsible for their own transportation to and from the Statehouse.
“I highly recommend this program to any student interested in state government or learning more about the legislative process. Each session, I am constantly being told by students that participate in the program that it was an invaluable experience and one that they will never forget,” said Rep. Huston.
With spots filling up fast, students who are interested in the Page Program are highly encouraged to schedule their visit quickly. Students are asked to include two separate dates to visit. Those dates should be between the first weeks of January through April. Recommended days to serve include Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays when the House is in session. There are no pages on Fridays.
