Rainy, Jubilant Graduation for St. Petersburg High, Class of 2011

What started out as a pretty evening turned unfortunate, yet memorable, for the St. Petersburg High School Class of 2011; the skies opened midway through the ceremony and poured rain.

Members of the St. Petersburg High School Class of 2011 will remember this night for the rest of their lives. Yes, graduating from high school is memorable. But how many classes graduated in a downpour?

It started out as a picturesque evening. The warm sun was setting and lighting up the partly cloudy sky with pink and coral hues. But just before diplomas were to be handed out to the graduates, the skies opened and a downpour ensued, drenching all in attendance. 

It will be a story the classmates can share, laugh about, and retell to family members for the rest of their lives. Check out our (pre-downpour) photos of the Class of 2011 at St. Petersburg High School.
