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

“The Indiana Senate Page Program is a great opportunity for students to learn about their state government and how it operates,” Buchanan said. “It is a pleasure to have Hoosier children visit the Statehouse and I encourage all eligible students to consider signing up.”

Students in grades six through 12 participate in the page program on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays during the legislative session.
