Each year, hundreds of students from across the State have the opportunity to take part in the
Oklahoma House of representatives High School Page Program. Pages are assigned for one week,
Monday through Thursday, during the legislative session that begins the first Monday in February
through the last Friday in May.
Serving as a Page includes working in the House chamber during daily session and also running
errands for the Representatives and House staff and taking part in the House Page Mock Legislature.
Pages begin their duties on Monday morning with an orientation session to become familiar with the
Capitol building and their duties for the week. Each day begins at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m.
Monday thru Wednesday with the exception of Thursday, when Pages are released for the week at 2:30.
Wednesday mornings Pages will attend a continental breakfast with their sponsoring House member.
They will also elect two Pages amongst themselves to honor them as “Outstanding Pages of the Week.”
Hotel accommodations and chaperones are provided for students living outside the Oklahoma City
metro area. Hotel Pages are bused to and from the Capitol daily. Pages are closely supervised
at all times and are not permitted to leave the hotel or the Capitol unless previous arrangements
have been made for church or school activities.
The House Page Mock Legislature
Wednesday mornings at 9:00 a.m., unless the House is in daily session, House Pages will participate
in the “Pageville Mock Legislature.” The mock legislature is held in the House Chamber, 4th floor
of the Capitol in the West wing. Pages elect their own officers and the House staff guides them
through the legislative process.
