Western Oklahoma State College is proud to recognize several outstanding students who were recently honored at the Oklahoma State Capitol during the 2026 All-Oklahoma Academic Team and Oklahoma Association of Community Colleges (OACC) President’s Tuition Waiver Awards Ceremony.

As part of its Centennial Celebration, Western Oklahoma State College is taking a look back at one of the most spirited elements of campus life: the evolution of its mascots. From Pirates to Owls to today’s beloved Pioneers, each chapter reflects not only the college’s identity but also the voice of its students and community.

Sponsors of Western Oklahoma State College's World Wide Western student organization had the privilege of accompanying three international students to the Oklahoma State Capitol on February 25 for International Student Recognition Day.
