This was school sanctioned. Last year, the students did not get to go because of the violence in Mexico. The class was in an area with VERY little population, the kids could not leave.
There are programs which are not only a tradition in the schools, but are sanctioned such as this was. No idea if the class this year was able to go.

She graduated high school 6 days prior. We graduated on the 24th of May and she disappeared on the 30th. So technically...no, she wasn't a senior, she was a graduate.
This wasn't a sanctioned trip and was not supposed to be educational. It was blatantly a just-for-fun trip. A lot of people that I know went got the trip as a graduation present.
