A high school student has been chosen for a prestigious program. Brook Merritt will serve as a Senate page, gaining a firsthand look at the legislative process. This opportunity allows 11th grade students to continue their studies while working in the nation's capital.

Merritt's interest in the program began with a social media video. She researched the program, which requires sponsorship by a US senator, and applied. Further details about her selection and experience are available.

The program is highly competitive, with only 30 students selected.
