  • Ethan Bauer, from Newburgh, attends Reitz Memorial High School

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

"Being a Senate page is a wonderful opportunity for Hoosier students to learn firsthand how our state government operates," Becker said. "I enjoy meeting with local students who traveled all the way to the Statehouse to experience the legislature up close, and I encourage all eligible students to take advantage of this program."

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