MORGAN SELECTED
TO SERVE AS U.S. CONGRESSIONAL PAGE
LEONARDTOWN, MD – For more than 175 years, pages have served
the United States Congress. Currently, approximately 100 young men and women from
across the nation serve as pages at any given time.
This year, Ms. Katie Morgan, a junior at Great Mills High School, is taking advantage of this great
opportunity.
Katie, whose service as a student page runs from August
31, 2009 to January 22, 2010, is responsible for carrying documents between the
House and Senate, Members’ offices, committees, and the Library of Congress; preparing
the House and Senate chambers for each day’s business by distributing the Congressional
Record and other documents related to the day’s agenda; and providing assistance
in the cloakrooms and chambers.
“Katie is a responsible young woman who
seems passionate about her government,” said Ms. Luanne Ruonavar, social studies
department chairperson at Great Mills High School who nominated Katie for the page
position.
All student pages must
have a 3.0 grade point average
or higher in the core academic subjects, and must be at least sixteen years old
by the date they begin their term. For more information on the Congressional Page
Program, visit http://pageprogram.house.gov/index.html.
Katie is the daughter of Jay and Annmarie Morgan of Great
Mills, MD.
