STATEHOUSE (Jan. 30, 2023) – State Reps. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville) and Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville) invite local students to spend a day serving as a House page at the Indiana Statehouse during the 2023 legislative session.
According to Mayfield, Hoosier students ages 13 to 18 can sign up to page, and assist lawmakers and staff with daily duties while touring the governor's office, the Indiana Supreme Court, and House and Senate chambers.
"Pages assist House legislators and staff with part of their day-to-day work," Mayfield said. "Along with tours of the Statehouse, they also learn about our state history and government."
Haggard said pages will receive an excused absence from school and can participate in groups, such as Girl Scouts troops.
"Learning how government works can foster a sense of pride in our state and get young Hoosiers more engaged in their communities," Haggard said. "Students should take advantage of this opportunity and sign up soon, as openings are limited and fill quickly."
Haggard said Hoosiers can visit indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram or call 1-800-382-9841 to sign up their student to participate.
Opportunities to page are available on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout session, which must conclude by the end of April. Students are responsible for their lunch, and transportation to and from the Statehouse.
