Serve as an Honorary Page
The Honorary Page program gives students an opportunity
to participate in the process and interact with Legislators.
Honorary Pages have the opportunity to see what it’s
like to work on the floor of the Senate and be part
of a Legislative Session. Pages perform such duties
as delivering messages to Senators and distributing
Amendments and Supplements in the Chamber. Students
from third grade through high school are invited
to serve in the Senate Chamber as Honorary Pages
when the Senate is in Session.
For more information or to schedule a visit, call
the Senate Secretary’s Office at (207) 287-1540.
