PITTSBURG, Kan. -- Pittsburg Community Middle School Principal Laura Earl got a nice surprise, Tuesday. As Earl got out her clarinet to join the PCMS Band in playing the National Anthem before the boys’ basketball game with Galena, she was called to the center of the court. There, two representatives of the Kansas Music Educators Association (KMEA) announced that she had been selected as the 2025-26 Administrator of the Year and as the Southeast District Administrator of the year.
