Oklahoma House Page Program
House Page Program Opens Applications
The Oklahoma House of Representatives High School Page Program has opened applications for the First Regular Session of the 60th Legislature, announced Program Director Rep. Brian Hill, R-Mustang.
Every year, hundreds of juniors and seniors from across the state participate in the House High School Page Program at the Oklahoma State Capitol in Oklahoma City. Participating students have the opportunity to view the legislative process up close and gain a deeper understanding of state government.
Students accepted to the program are assigned to one week during the legislative session, which runs from the first Monday in February through the last Friday in May. They arrive on Sunday afternoon and serve Monday through Thursday in the House Chamber during daily session. Pages also assist representatives and staff with tasks and participate in the House Page Mock Legislature on the floor of the House Chamber.
"Working with our wonderful high school Pages and getting to know them serves as an important reminder of why we were sent to the Legislature—to improve our great state not for ourselves, but for their futures," said Hill, who has served as the program director since 2020. "Any student, regardless of what career path they may be interested in, leaves the House Page Program with a strong understanding and appreciation of the political process and the importance of civics engagement."
Hotel accommodations and chaperones are provided for all students. Pages are transported to and from the State Capitol daily and are closely supervised.
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 First Regular Session of the 60th Legislature begins Mon., Feb. 3, 2025.
