STATEHOUSE (Dec. 1, 2025) — The Indiana Senate is accepting applications for the 2026 Senate Page Program, said State Sen. Dan Dernulc (R-Highland).
Through the full-day program, students in grades six through 12 tour Indiana’s Statehouse, listen to debates from the Senate floor and help staff with age-appropriate tasks. Students also have the opportunity to meet their state senator.
"I am always happy to welcome students to the Statehouse, especially those from Senate District 1 who travel so far to learn more about their state government," Dernulc said. "This is a great introduction to the legislative process, and I encourage local students to participate in one of our many paging days."
The Senate Page Program will begin in January and continue throughout the legislative session. Pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. They begin their day at 8:30 a.m. and are dismissed at 3:30 p.m. Groups serve together on Wednesdays. Indiana law permits eligible students to serve as a Senate Page one day per legislative session and receive an excused absence from school for their participation. Positions fill quickly, so it is important to apply early.
Students or parents should submit an application corresponding with the date they would like to page. Once the application is submitted, the Senate Page Office will reach out to confirm the paging date and ensure all required participation forms are signed.
