Congressman David Scott congratulates Rachel Aguirre for being chosen to represent the 13th  District of Georgia as a Summer 2009 Congressional Page. As a Congressional Page, Miss Aguirre will serve the United States Congress in Washington, DC.  Some of her Page duties will include preparing the House floor for sessions, distributing the Congressional Record and other correspondence, and assisting in the cloakrooms and chambers.

“I am so proud to have Rachel Aguirre represent the intelligent and motivated young people that we have in the 13th District. She clearly has a very bright future ahead of her and I know that this opportunity will only continue to nurture and develop her leadership skills,” said Congressman Scott.

Miss Aguirre is a rising junior at Campbell High School, who has excelled in both academics and extracurricular activities.  She maintains a 3.7 grade point average while being an active member of Campbell High School’s Varsity Riffle Club, Advanced Orchestra (Cello), and Gospel Choir.  In addition, Rachel was named among the Top 25 Scholar Athletes at Campbell High School.

Since 1839, the United States Congress has employed young people as pages who serve as messengers and perform administrative tasks. Pages are high-school juniors from around the country with a minimum grade point average of 3.0.  Students interested in applying to be a Congressional Page should contact their district Representative or Senator to obtain an application.
