American reporters and news media are praising a group of high school students from southeastern Kansas. The students attend classes at Pittsburg High School and work for its newspaper. The school has about 900 students. Amy Robertson was named Pittsburg High’s new principal in early March. School officials said she lived in Dubai. They said she would move to Kansas and start her new job before the next school year. Robertson said she works as an education consultant in the United Arab Emirates. After reading a press release from the school and speaking with her on Skype for a newspaper story, the high school students had some questions. One of the students, Connor Balthazor, told The Washington Post that there were some things about Robertson “that just didn’t quite add up.”
