After a turbulent year, Richmond High seniors deserve a smooth ride to graduation or ten.
On Friday, the lowrider community held their Second Annual Richmond High Car Show for Graduating Seniors on the campus at 1250 23rd St.
Local car club members parked 10 classic low-rider vehicles at the high school campus, where high school seniors were scheduled to pick up their graduation caps and gowns.
Hot-rods, souped-up trucks and other old-school muscle cars parked in the new quad by the old science building, showing love for the more than 300 graduates.
“We wanted to show them how the community is so proud of their accomplishments this year,” said organizer Gonzalo Rucobo, founder of Bay Area Peace Keeper, a violence prevention organization that works with students at different local school sites. “During these tough times, this graduating class was not able to get or receive a proper celebration they deserve for all of their hard work.”
