Legislative Resource Center B-106 Cannon H.O.B. Washington, D.C. 20515. | Pages are young people who are hired to serve as helpers for the U.S. House of Representatives. They are students in their junior year of high school who come to Washington D.C. to live, work, and study as Pages. This Program, which includes the House Page Residence Hall, the House Page School, and the work responsibilities, is administered by the Office of the Clerk, pursuant to direction from the Majority and Minority leadership and the U.S. House of Representatives Page Board. The practice of having Pages dates back over 200 years.
There are limited slots open, so the process is very competitive. Your first step is to ask Rep. Heather Wilson to nominate you.
The next Page Term you can apply for begins in January 2008. Watch this space for the application once it becomes available this fall. Until then, you can reference the 2007 application (PDF) for more information.
ELIGIBILITY
Page eligibility is limited to juniors in high school only. All applicants must be at least sixteen years old on the date they begin their Page term. No exceptions.
Students must have at least a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for the House Page School and all School Year Pages must attend the Page School.
