Pages are high school juniors, at least sixteen years old, that work for the U.S. House of Representatives or Senate for one semester. Four semesters are available: Fall, Spring, and two Summer sessions.

Pages attend Page School during the school year, and must have a 3.0 grade point average before being accepted into the program. A Page Resident Hall is provided, and the room and board is deducted from their monthly pay checks.

What Does a Page Do?

Page duties consist primarily of delivery of correspondence, legislative material and small packages, such as boxed flags, within the Congressional complex. A few Pages are assigned to answering phones in the Members' Cloakroom, taking messages for the Members, calling them to the phone if they are in the House Chamber and preparing the House Floor for sessions. Still others man a telephone bank of incoming requests for page service. A rotation system is practiced so that every Page has an opportunity to experience the various areas of service.
