All applicants who have completed their paperwork will be notified sometime in November. Successful applicants will be told at that time which session they will serve and the date for the orientation at the State House. Between 125 and 150 applications are received each year, so no one should be disappointed if he or she is not selected. Only 27 pages and 3 executive messengers are chosen from this group each year. Pages must be in the eighth grade the year that they serve.
Every effort is made to select at least one page from each county.
Pages must have the ability to communicate with both members of the General Assembly and the general public. Discipline is firm but fair. If pages fail to carry out their duties and conduct themselves with decorum befitting their position, they will be subject to dismissal. Pages are furnished with green blazers. Boys must wear white shirts, grey dress pants, black dress shoes and ties.
