If you have visited the Capitol in Washington, you may have noticed young men and women dressed in navy blue blazers hustling throughout the building. Known as the Pages, this group of high school students serves as Congressional messengers for one semester on Capitol Hill. Working as a team, Pages assist Members with their legislative duties, deliver correspondence and small packages within the congressional complex, answer phones in the Member Cloakrooms, and prepare the House Floor for legislative sessions.

Congressman Culberson is pleased to announce that his office has been selected to sponsor a Page for the 2009 Spring Semester. If you are currently enrolled in your junior year with a GPA of 3.0 or higher, we encourage you to apply to participate in this challenging and rewarding experience.

Pages have been an integral part of life on the Hill since they first appeared in the 1820s. Appointed by Members of Congress, they live in a dormitory facility near the Capitol and attend school in addition to their fundamental duties.
