The Senate Page Program is for Oklahoma high school students (9th through 12th grades) who are at least 14 years of age.
A page must be sponsored by a State Senator. Each Senator has a limited number of page appointments for the legislative session.
Interested students should contact their State Senator to express their interest in serving as pages for the Oklahoma State Senate. Each Senator’s office has its own criteria for selection. Specific questions about the qualifications can be directed directly to
the Executive Assistant in the Senator’s office. If you
are interested in serving as a page, please contact Shannon
Sharpton,
1-405-521-5624 for more details.
Please
note that our page allotment is full for the 2010
Legislative Session. If you would like to serve as a
page in the future, please contact our office.

- QUALIFICATIONS
While serving as a Senate page, the student must be a minimum of 14 years
old and enrolled in an Oklahoma secondary school as a 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grade student, be home schooled at the equivalent enrollment level, or
be a foreign exchange student at the equivalent enrollment.
PAGE EXPENSES
Compensated pages receive $25 for each day of service. Compensated checks (warrants) will be mailed to the student within a few days after the service week. Hotel expenses (room charges only) are paid by the Senate for both compensated and honorary pages. Students are responsible for all meals and evening activity expenses. A complimentary breakfast is provided to pages who lodge at the hotel.
LODGING
Pages may commute or lodge at the page hotel: Holiday Inn and Suites-North. All pages meeting the age and grade requirements are eligible to lodge, regardless of where they reside.
EVENING ACTIVITIES
Participation in evening activities is mandatory for pages who lodge. However, pages may arrange in advance to be excused for school- or church-sponsored activities only. Pages
who commute are invited to join in the evening activities, but arrangements must be made in advance with the page staff.
PAGE PACKETS
A personalized packet of information will be mailed to the parents/guardians of each appointee at least two (2) weeks in advance of the service period. The packet contains instructions regarding dress code, arrival and departure times, page protocol, hotel information for pages
who lodge, and parking information for pages that commute. Parental permission and release forms pertaining automobile usage, transport liability and emergency medical treatment are also in the packet and must be completed and signed by the parent and the page. The forms are to be given to the page staff upon arrival
at either the Capitol or the page hotel (they are not to be mailed in).
