Every year, Members of the U.S. House of Representatives select outstanding high school juniors to come to Washington, D.C. to live for a school year or summer and work for the U.S. House of Representatives. These students take classes in the morning and work for the rest of the day.
Pages live in dormitories and rent is taken out of the salaries they receive.
The majority party in Congress has 66 Page positions reserved for distribution. Of these 66 positions, Representative Myrick's office can help select one individual. Representative Myrick selects one application from those she receives from the Ninth District and sends it with her recommendation to the Speaker of the House. It is from the Speaker's office where the Pages are actually selected.
