Legislative Pages

Originally published Tuesday, March 26, 2002

Each year approximately 280 young people between the ages of 14 and 16 participate in the page program. A page school allows students to keep up their school work while learning about the Legislature. In addition, pages provide invaluable assistance to legislators by delivering messages to the floor of the House and Senate, and carrying documents to various locations on the Capitol Campus.
