High School Page Program The Maryland General Assembly is seeking high school seniors with an interest in government to participate in the legislature’s student page program during the 2013 legislative session. As a lawmaker whose interest grew out of a high school internship in government, I am very excited for this program and hope you will encourage talented high school seniors to apply.
Each selected page will serve two nonconsecutive weeks in either the House of Delegates or the State Senate. During the thirteen weeks of session (January-April), each page will serve one week during the first eight weeks and return for his/her second week during the last five weeks. The program is open to students in Montgomery County.
