Watch: New York graduating class features 15 sets of twins
June 23 (UPI) -- Attendees at a high school graduation on New York's Long Island were left seeing double when 15 sets of twins walked across the stage to accept their diplomas. The Class of 2025 at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School walked across the graduation stage Saturday, and among them were 15 sets of twins. Some of the students said they didn't even notice the unusually high number of twins until some mothers started noticing. "We are friends with a lot of them, but we never counted until our mom and a few of the other twin moms took a count," twin Chloe Manzo told Greater Long Island. "We were like, 'What?'" Principal Heather Dvorak said the school previously saw nine sets of twins and one set of triplets graduate together in 2014. "Each class has their own unique culture and vibe," Dvorak told Newsday. "This year, I knew coming in that they we're gonna be very unified." All 15 sets of twins in the Class of 2025 are fraternal, not identical, so teachers have been spared the possibility of mistaken identity. "Most, if not all, have been in the district since kindergarten," Timothy Lamb, the school's assistant principal, told "Many met as infants because the parents joined a 'parents of twins' group. They're all very friendly with each other. They're all close. It's like they have a little clique."

Create Account Among the 447 graduating seniors at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School on Long Island, there are 15 sets of twins, according to Toda and News 12 Long Island. 'Most, if not all, have been in the district since kindergarten,' Timothy Lamb, the school's assistant principal, told Today earlier this month, per 'Many met as infants because the parents joined a parents of twins group. They're all very friendly with each other.' None of the twins are identical. 'Some teachers don't even know they're twins,' Lamb said. Still, there has been some twin confusion over the years. For example, there are two sets of twins named Josh and Rebecca (mercifully, they have different last names.) As their high school education winds down, 14 out of 15 sets of twins are headed to different universities, reported Today, which added Chloe and Aidan Manzo are the lone twins set to attend the same school — the University of Florida — in the fall.

A high school in nearby New Jersey also had the distinction of graduating 15 sets of twins last year. Ridgewood High School had 419 seniors in its class of 2024, and 30 of those students were twins, the Bergen Record reported. Read More Canada Sports Columnists Sunshine Girls World
