Donnie Bickham Middle School
          Just who was Donnie Bickham???

Donnie Bickham Middle School was named in April of 1987 by the
Caddo Parish School Board.  Donald "Donnie" Thomas Bickham, a
1970 graduate of Northwood High School, met a tragic death in 1972.  
He was the victim of a head-on  collision caused by a drunken driver
on a four-lane Texas highway.  He was an exemplary student who
excelled both academically and athletically.  Many  of his
accomplishments and memorabilia are displayed in the the trophy
case located near the library.  In approving the name, it was felt that
Donnie's achievements may motivate other students and that his life
of service could be a model for students to follow.
