10 Baltimore County Students To Serve As Pages At MD State House

Press release from Baltimore County Public Schools:

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — Ten Baltimore County Public Schools seniors have been selected to serve as student pages for the 2026 legislative session of the Maryland General Assembly.

The students are:

• Mya Abt, Perry Hall High School
• Eyimofe Asooto, Eastern Technical High School
• Maeve Cirillo-Brinkley, Dulaney High School
• Jaylin Jesiah Hall, Lansdowne High School
• Sumaya Laguda, Randallstown High School
• Susan Metcalf, Western School of Technology
• Jacob Mwangi, Kenwood High School
• Daniel Turner, Chesapeake High School
• Tamia Turner, Owings Mills High School
• Sophie Vijayan, Towson High School

Two other BCPS students – Bianca Analy Morales-Vargas of Franklin High School and Foresight Ogungbe of Eastern Technical High School – will serve as alternates.

The student page program, created in 1970 by House Speaker Thomas Hunter Lowe and approved by the Maryland State Board of Education, is designed to foster student leadership, educate students about the legislative process, and promote youth interest in government. Each year, 105 pages and 36 alternates are selected from across Maryland to represent their schools and counties in Annapolis. Student pages are engaged in activities such as distributing materials and messages to legislators, maintaining bill books, and assisting visitors.

During the 13 weeks of the legislative session, which runs from the second week in January to early April, each page will serve for one week during the first seven weeks and return for a second week of service during the last six weeks of the session.

Each page is given a meal allowance of $50 per day worked. The page program office arranges for students from outside of Anne Arundel County to stay in page housing near the State House.
