1. Superior principal staffing changes 'within normal cycle' (superiortelegram.com) — Leadership changes across Superior schools mean a new principal lineup at the high school and several elementary schools, while officials stress turnover is normal for a district this size. With resignations, promotions, and role shifts, most vacancies are being filled from within, which district leaders say helps keep stability and continuity for Superior students and families.
   

2. $1,000 Reward Offered For Information About Superior Entry Break-in, Theft (weareminnesconsin.com) — A recent break-in at the Superior Entry South Breakwater Light on Wisconsin Point disabled power and stole the navigational beacon, creating what the Coast Guard calls a serious hazard for vessels entering Superior. Investigators believe it happened around May 13 and are offering a $1,000 reward for tips leading to an arrest, with anonymous reports accepted through the CGIS Tips portal.
   

3. Douglas County Past: Chamber seeks Normal School, Hill bust unveiled (superiortelegram.com) — A look back at Superior’s past highlights a Chamber push to land a state normal school, spirited local baseball in South Superior, and a big crowd honoring railroad titan James J. Hill. The historical snapshots also recall early debates over utility franchises, gas main extensions for South End residents, and even a few “stolen” cars recovered around town.
