Juniors who participated in the High School Page Program visited Mr.Camuz`s office to thank him for helping them experience this great internship opportunity.
Each year, hundreds of students from across the state have the opportunity to take part in the Oklahoma House of Representatives High School Page Program. Pages are assigned for one week, Monday through Thursday, during the legislative session beginning the first Monday in February through the last Friday in May.
Pages begin their duties on Monday morning with an orientation session to become familiar with the Capitol building and their duties for the week. Other mornings, Pages will hear a guest speaker or attend a meeting. Each day begins at 8 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. Monday thru Wednesday and 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Serving as a Page includes working in the House Chamber each day during session, running errands for the Representatives and House staff, and taking part in the House Page Mock Legislature.
Tuesday evenings, House Pages participate in the House Page Mock Legislature program. The mock legislature is held in the House Chamber, 4th Floor of the State Capitol Building. Immediately following work that day, Pages are taken to a restaurant for dinner and then return to the Capitol for the mock legislature. Pages elect their own officers and the House staff guides them through the mock legislative process.

| DSA-Tulsa FTC team won 1st Place |
|
Dove Science Academy Robotics Team got 1st place in the PTC Design Award category on First Tech Challenge(FTC) Muskogee Qualifier yesterday. Our Robotics Team is invited to compete in the Oklahoma Statewide FTC Robotics Competiton on March 3rd.
Congratulations!
The PTC Design Award recognizes design elements of the robot that are both functional and aesthetic. All successful robots have innovative design aspects. The PTC Design Award, however, is presented to teams that incorporate industrial design elements into their solution. These elements could simplify the robot giving it a clean look, decorate the robot, or otherwise express the creativity of the team. The winning design does not compromise the practical operation of the robots but compliment its purpose.
