PHOTOS: Burnsville High School Graduation

The rain came down but did not dampen spirits at Burnsville Senior High School's 55th graduation ceremony.

Minnesota's notoriously fickle weather did a number on the graduation ceremony at Burnsville Senior High School, which was held in the football stadium this year. The glowering skies held out until it was time to hand out diplomas, leaving the graduates soaking wet but accomplished. Their families took shelter under the bleachers and concessions stand. The brave of heart held out under umbrellas as members of the school board scrambled to cover diplomas and electrical equipment with plastic.

Nevertheless, the 690-odd members of the BHS' senior class did not let the rain cramp their style. Check out the proceedings in this photo gallery.
