Pages spend a day at the Statehouse touring the historic building, observing some debates from the chamber floor and interacting with their state senators.

“The page program is a really great experience for students,” Mishler said. “One of my first experiences learning about state government was when I paged as a student. It’s a great way to find out how government works on a day-to-day basis.” 

Students in grades six through 12 can participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 4.
