Oklahoma State University has announced a new 10-year partnership with Love’s Alternative Energy, a member of the Love’s Family of Companies for the operation, maintenance and renewable fuel supply of OSU’s compressed natural gas (CNG) bus fueling station.

The contract, which takes effect May 28, marks a significant step forward in OSU’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and cleaner campus transportation. OSU has been committed to CNG as a transportation fuel for the bus fleet since 2009.

The CNG fueling station serves OSU’s fleet of 27 transit buses, which provide transportation not only across the Stillwater campus but also throughout the broader Stillwater community. Under the new agreement, Love’s Alternative Energy will replace aging compressor equipment, assume full operations and maintenance responsibilities, and supply renewable natural gas  — a cleaner-burning fuel derived from organic waste sources such as landfills and agricultural byproducts.

Located at the corner of Western and Lakeview roads, the station handles approximately 150,000 Diesel Gallon Equivalents (DGE) of fuel per year. By transitioning to RNG, OSU will qualify for benefits under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program. Under the RFS, the university will earn Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) — tradeable credits that can generate revenue for the university, effectively allowing OSU to be compensated for choosing a renewable energy source.

The partnership aligns with OSU’s broader sustainability mission, which prioritizes environmentally responsible practices in facilities, transportation and campus operations.

Stillwater Public Schools has announced several adjustments to its assistant principal staffing assignments ahead of the 2026–2027 school year.

Middle School & Elementary Changes

Following the promotion of Jackie Jackson to Head Principal at Stillwater Middle School, Claire Clark will transition from Skyline Elementary to SMS to fill the vacant assistant principal role. 

High School & Junior High Transitions

With the integration of freshmen at Stillwater High School in the next school year, an additional assistant principal will be added at that site, pending Board of Education approval at an upcoming meeting. 

Upon receiving that approval, Johnna Hayes will move from SJHS to SHS to serve as the additional assistant principal. 

Following that change, Ashley Dobbs will relocate from Westwood Elementary to become a SJHS assistant principal on Princi Nelson’s administrative team.

"We’re incredibly lucky to have such amazing assistant principals in our district," said Superintendent Tyler Bridges. "Stillwater does a fantastic job of preparing its administrators to succeed at any school site. It’s great to have such a strong pool of talent, and I'm looking forward to seeing these three thrive in their new roles."

The leadership changes go into effect for the 2026–2027 school year.
