July 3—El Rancho's drive-thru graduation ceremony took place on a warm Friday the first week of July. From 9am until 4pm, automobiles containing the Class of 2020 and their families eased through the campus and out onto Ernie Johnson Field of Don Memorial Stadium. Within the stadium, graduates left their cars to receive their diplomas on stage. Principal Chris Silvas—along with Superintendent Dr. Esparza and Board Members Mejia, Merino and Castillo—was on stage to give the students a pandemic-safe greeting.
Photos were taken from 9am-11:30am by Mr. Crone, organized into two galleries: #1, #2
