Max Robertson of Purlear graduated Friday from the U.S. House of Representatives Page Program. Robertson, a high school junior, was nominated to the Page Program by Representative Virginia Foxx. “Max has proven himself as a page over the past six months,” Rep. Foxx said. “His dedication to the work of a page and his civic-minded approach to life are truly commendable traits for such a promising young person.”
The Page Program is a hands-on academic program for high school students from congressional districts across the country. Robertson is one of 63 pages to serve in the House during the 2008 spring semester. House pages attend daily classes for high school credit. After a morning of class, pages work in the Capitol each day carrying out a variety of duties such as delivering correspondence within the congressional complex, answering phones in the House Cloakrooms, and preparing the House Floor for sessions.
