State’s House page program is now accepting applications

By

The Oklahoma House of Representatives High School Page Program is now accepting applications for the second regular Session of the 59th Legislature.

Each year, hundreds of juniors and seniors from each corner of the state take part in the House High School Page Program at the Oklahoma state Capitol in Oklahoma City.

“This program gives high school students the opportunity to learn the inner workings of the legislative process and to participate in their state government,” said Rep. Mike Dobrinski.

“This lays an excellent foundation for those who go on to pursue careers in public service. In addition, many find the connections they make with other students from around the state as well as elected representatives to be invaluable.”

Pages are assigned for oneweek,Mondaythrough Thursday, during the legislative session, which runs from the first Monday in February through the last Friday in May.

Students serving as a Page work in the House Chamber during daily session, assist representatives and House staff with tasks, and take part in the House Page Mock Legislature on the floor of the House Chamber.

Hotel accommodations and chaperones are provided for all students.

House Pages are transported to and from the Capitol daily and are closely supervised at all times.

Interested high school juniors and seniors may visit https://former.okhouse. gov/Pages/ to submit an application or contact their state representative for more information.

The Second Regular Session of the 59th Legislature begins Mon., Feb. 5, 2024.
