STATEHOUSE (Jan. 11, 2024) – Morgan County lawmakers 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. Peggy Mayfield (R-Martinsville), Hoosier students in grades 6 through 12 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.
"During my time serving at the Statehouse, I've had the pleasure of meeting so many bright students seeking an up-close look at how Indiana laws are made. In fact, one student page eventually joined our Statehouse staff," Mayfield said. "I look forward to working with more young Hoosiers from our community during session."
State Rep. Craig Haggard (R-Mooresville) said that student pages will receive an excused absence from school and that groups of students may participate together.
"Spending a day at the Statehouse is a great opportunity to learn more about Indiana's history and see government in action," Haggard said. "I encourage eligible students to apply to be a page before all available slots are filled."
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.
