On February 6-8, Montgomery Catholic Sophomore Campbell Webb and Freshman Madelyn Stringer had the opportunity to serve as Pages during the opening week of the First Legislative Session of 2024 at the Alabama State House. As Pages, they learned about the legislative system, helped staff during and after sessions, and spent time with their respective representatives: Campbell with Rep. Rhett Marques and Madelyn with Rep. Phillip Ensler.
Some of the things they got to experience: attending a Board of Education meeting with Rep. Ensler, witnessing a bill getting passed in the gallery, attending sessions in the House chamber, leading the House chamber in the Pledge of Allegiance, touring the Alabama State House, and meeting the 2023 MLB AL Rookie of the Year and Montgomery native Gunnar Henderson.
The highlight of this unique experience was that Campbell and Madelyn got to meet and interact with government officials, including the Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey!
Thank you to Page Director Mia Dacus, Reps. Phillip Ensler and Rhett Marques, and all those involved with helping these students have such an incredible experience! We love how invested our students are in government and making the places around them better for future generations!
