SUPERIOR, Wis. - For the first time, Superior’s swimming pool will have a new name. Starting this school year, the pool will now be known as the Happy Tails Spartan Natatorium. Happy Tails Animal Hospital and the school district have agreed to a 10-year deal for the name through 2033. Through the partnership, the school was able to install new high-quality timing pads, live streaming equipment, and more. Spartan Manufacturing students made a new sign displaying the name change.
