Douglas County Dispatches: Science Experiments, Art Projects, Tiger Command Launcher and More – Superior Telegram

SUPERIOR — I love prom stories! They’re pretty similar year after year, but it’s fun to see a new group of students marching toward their dreams.

Reporter Maria Lockwood has a story about a graduate of the Douglas County Treatment Court. Jonathan Crabtree (41) is the latest winner of the program.

We also have photos from the University of Wisconsin-Superior Commencement, which was held on Saturday, May 20th.
