Saluting The Class Of 2021: Yarizbeth Martinez Of Rancho Verde High School
Across California Patch is celebrating this year's seniors for their accomplishments.

ACROSS CALIFORNIA, CA — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.
Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form so we can publish those tributes one by one.
Yarizbeth Martinez will graduate from Rancho Verde High School.
