Graduating seniors also wore a white ribbon in honor of Rodriguez.
The teen wrestler drowned in Lake Alycon on Sunday night, officials say.
Investigators say Rodriguez and his friend were trying to swim to the other side of the lake for a "senior scavenger hunt," but never made it.
Officials said the friend made an effort to rescue Rodriguez, but he was not able to.
"It's terribly heartbreaking. We are blessed though from the standpoint we have such a close-knit community, such a close-knit high school," Pitman Mayor Michael Razze previously told Action News.
