It didn’t exactly match the local weather forecast, but the nearly 500 members of the Rio Rancho High School Class of 2021 and their families have probably been in New Mexico long enough to know there’s no guarantee on weather prognostications.
And, wouldn’t you know it, about 11 a.m. Tuesday, when the first diplomas were about to be handed out, that’s when the clouds opened and the rain began pelting everyone at Rio Rancho Stadium.
The nearly 500 members of the school’s 23rd graduating class had a pleasant ceremony till then, anyway, laughing and maybe even tearing up at what they heard from the speakers.
