Sarah Allen, an eighth grader at Kerr Vance Academy has been selected for the Senate Page Program for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The General Assembly will be in session during January and February. The Senate Page Leadership Program is structured similar to a college preparatory program with components centered on developing future leaders.
Students who receive admission to the program carry on the tradition of page service in the legislature while fulfilling requirements in a professional development track comprised of speakers, site visits and classroom-like instruction. The mission of the program is to facilitate a structured environment in which young Virginians embrace responsibility and accountability, develop professional characteristics through strict standards of conduct and engage in the legislative process through work, observation and discussion. Sarah is the daughter of Richard and Jill Allen of Clarksville, Virginia.
