STATEHOUSE (March 14, 2024) – State Reps. Jim Lucas (R-Seymour) and Karen Engleman (R-Georgetown) recently welcomed local students to the Statehouse where they participated in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2024 legislative session.
"There is no better way to learn about our state government than getting a firsthand view of how the process works," Lucas said. "Paging gives Hoosier students a hands-on, live view of the legislative process and they have an opportunity to learn more about our state's history as well."
As pages, the students assisted lawmakers and staff with daily duties, toured offices of all branches of government in the Statehouse, and joined lawmakers on the House floor to witness and learn about the legislative process.
"Session is always an exciting way to kick off the new year, and I was happy to meet students from my area and others at the Statehouse and share a small piece of what we do," Engleman said. "I encourage students interested in learning about our government and history to join us during next year's legislative session."
These local students served as pages during the 2024 legislative session:
Students ages 13 to 18 should consider participating during the 2025 legislative session. Contact Lucas at h69@iga.in.gov or Engleman at h70@iga.in.gov for more information on the Indiana House Page Program.
