  • Katelyn Turner, from Dillsboro, attends St. John Lutheran School

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

"Giving students a firsthand look at the legislative process is a rewarding experience that enhances their education beyond the classroom," Perfect said. "It is a pleasure to have Hoosier students visit the Statehouse and show an interest in how our state operates."

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