Doug Pickett's Bio

I am thankful and privileged to begin my seventh year as principal of Blackhawk Christian Intermediate.  My wife, Stefanie, and I have been married for 27 years.  Stefanie assists in high school youth ministry (The Movement) at Blackhawk Ministries.  She also works as a study hall monitor at BCS.  We have five children.  Mason, 22 (First year law school student at Indiana University in Indianapolis); Clayton, 21 (Junior at Manchester College).  He studies criminology and plays collegiate baseball; Kellen 18 (Senior at BCS); JaeLyn, 15 (Freshman at BCS); and Quinnlyn, 12 (Seventh Grader at BCS).

I was born and raised in New Haven, IN.  Prior to coming to Blackhawk Christian Intermediate, I spent 20 years as a public school educator.  I spent 16 years at New Haven Middle School and New Haven High School as a teacher, dean of students, assistant principal, and principal.  I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, reading God's Word, reading, and following sports. My favorite book of the Bible is Colossians, and my favorite verse is Romans 12:2 "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."
