I look forward to seeing all that the future holds for him.” Norton began serving as an Isakson-appointed Senate page in September, and will remain in the program through Jan. 27, 2017. Norton previously served in the Georgia State House of Representatives Page program in 2015. Norton maintains a 3.8 grade point average in his Georgia high school and has served as captain on his school’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) academic team and a squad leader in JRTOC. He has also earned varsity letters on the golf team, as well as participated in crew, debate club and is a videographer for school sports. He is a member of the National Junior Honor Society, the Horton Society and works on his school’s yearbook. The Senate Page Program is an enduring tradition dating back to 1829, when the first Senate page was appointed by Senator Daniel Webster. Female students began receiving Senate page appointments in 1971. Senate pages are required to be high school juniors and at least age 16. Isakson is allowed to appoint one Senate page from Georgia per session and there are typically four sessions per year – fall, spring, and two shorter sessions over the summer. Senate page duties include preparing the Senate chamber for sessions, delivering legislation and correspondence inside the Congressional compound and distributing statutes and amendments on the Senate floor. Senate pages who serve in the fall and spring also must attend academic classes each morning at the fully-accredited U.S. Senate Page School before reporting for duty on the Senate floor. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
