Centreville, MD – Daniel Mora, a senior at Queen Anne’s County High School, has been selected to represent Queen Anne’s County Public Schools as a member of the Maryland General Assembly’s (MGA) 2025 Student Page Program.
Each year, 105 pages and 36 alternates are selected from across the State to represent their schools and counties in Annapolis. The MGA Page Program is non-patronage and open to residents of Maryland who attend Maryland public and nonpublic high schools. As a Page, Daniel will serve two nonconsecutive weeks in either the State Senate or the House of Delegates. During the thirteen weeks of session (January to April), each Page will serve one week during the first seven weeks and return for their second week during the last six.
Daniel’s duties as a Page will revolve around the schedule of the chamber to which he is assigned. Whenever his house (Senate or House of Delegates) is in session, he must also be present. His duties may include, but not be limited to, keeping the members’ bill books up to date, distributing materials on the floor to the members, assisting visitors, and delivering messages to the members. After each day’s session, Pages may also be assigned additional work in the legislative chambers or committee rooms.
The Maryland General Assembly’s Student Page Program has a three-fold design: to interest youth in state government, and more specifically, in the proceedings of the legislature; to increase participation in government and foster leadership among youth; and to enable students to provide a vital service to the legislature, while meeting legislators and other officials.
After graduation, Daniel plans to attend a four-year university to major in International Relations with the goal of someday becoming a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State.
