The Paige Project is a student-led, academic enrichment course at Deer Park Jr High that offers support to Deer Park ISD students who are battling life-threatening illnesses such as pediatric cancer. What began several years ago as a class designed to give back to our local community has become a citywide effort to make a difference in the lives of people who need it the most.
That change was set in motion in 2014, when one of our 8th grade students, Paige Lejeune, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of childhood leukemia. Deer Park Junior High students - Paige's friends included - wanted to organize an event that would not only show overwhelming support for the family, but would also help with the final burdens that were quickly mounting.
Throughout her cancer journey, Paige put others before herself. She wanted to help other kids going through similar experiences and even had a goal of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse at the very hospital where she was treated. For her, it was always about giving back and spreading a message of hope however she could.
Paige Lejeune stepped into Heaven at the age of 16 in 2016, but her legacy lives on with the annual Paige Project.
