Families furious after Tennessee school pushes ahead with graduation while students ‘get drowned’ in torrential downpour

The families of students from two Tennessee high schools have expressed their anger at the decision made to go ahead with an outdoor graduation ceremony despite a torrential downpour. Students at Centennial HS and Franklin HS had their memories of graduation ruined as they sat for hours in the miserable weather, some parents claimed it was downright dangerous.

What is typically meant to be a joyous day for students was marred by the grey clouds and constant downpour which soaked everyone in attendance through to the bone. Footage shows students looking like drowned rats with their soggy graduation gowns and caps. It’s probably a far cry from the bright and cheery ceremony many of them pictured.
