California High School Discovers They Have 14 Sets of Twins in Their Graduating Class

A California high school discovers they have 14 sets of twins in their graduating class! Fourteen sets of twins. That’s 28 hearts that grew in the womb together, shared lullabies, learned to walk, read, ride bikes—side by side. And now, they’ll cross the graduation stage together at Clovis North High School in Fresno, California, on June 4, 2025.

Fourteen sets.

A story only heaven could script.

They Couldn’t Believe There Were 14 Sets of Twins

Principal Joshua Shapiro said, still marveling like a man stumbling into a miracle, “We do a graduation grid every year. And when we were putting the grid together, we started realizing, 'Wait, there's more than just eight or nine … there's actually 14.' That was really an eye-opening result.”

It’s not every day that a high school holds 28 students who share not only their cap and gown color, but also the same birthday—or at least the same baby book stories. And yet, here they are: Colt and Emerson. Max and Charlie. Claire and Chloe. And eleven more pairs, hearts that learned the rhythms of life in sync.

The Twins Reflect On Being Together

“Going to high school with a twin… I feel like it's better than just going by yourself,” Claire Scott, 18, said with the kind of softness that only comes from growing up tethered. “I always had her, so that was really nice to always have someone there for me.”

There’s something holy about that kind of togetherness. It’s the kind that shows up in study sessions, in eye-rolls across the lunch table, in matching pep rally shirts and whispered pep talks before exams. Twinship isn’t just sharing DNA. It’s sharing everything—and still choosing to hold each other close.

Change is Coming For the Twins

"It's been fun," Colt Parks added, his voice steady with the gratitude of four high school years made easier by having his twin, Emerson, right beside him. “Classes with her have been easy. I have her to help me with certain subjects, like math. It’s just been really helpful to have a twin with me all the way through the four years.”

But change is coming, as it always does.

Some Twins Will Be Apart For College

Emerson will head to Brigham Young University in Utah, where she’ll run track and field. Colt will stay in California, playing water polo at Fresno Pacific University. For the first time, these two, who’ve likely never spent more than a few days apart, will be walking into new worlds without their built-in best friend.

“It’ll definitely be possibly a little bit challenging at first,” Emerson admitted, her honesty as open-hearted as her stride. “Just because we’ve never been so far apart for so long. But I think since we’re both going for sports, we’ll be able to share that experience with each other and be able to lean on each other during hard times.”

Some Twills Will Stay Together

That’s the quiet promise every twin seems to carry: no matter where we go, we’re still us.

Even as some sets prepare to separate, others—like Max and Charlie Toy—plan to squeeze in one more shared memory before graduation throws them into the future.

“We’re doing a shared graduation party,” Max said, his smile almost audible. “And it’ll be fun, because, you know, we’ve shared parties our whole lives together. So it’s going to be one last big grad party that we’re going to be able to share. It’s like one last one where we’re in the same spot.”

Graduation is Quite the Celebration

And isn’t that what every milestone really is?

One last spot—before life carries us somewhere new.

Clovis North’s Class of 2025 is about to scatter across colleges, careers, and states. But for these 14 sets of twins, this graduation is more than a tassel turn or a name called. It’s a celebration of every scraped knee, inside joke, whispered test answer, and sibling hug. It’s a ribbon tied around the gift of growing up together—and a launch into the world with a built-in lifeline.

We Were Made to Walk Through Life With Each Other

And maybe, just maybe, it's a reminder to all of us—twin or not—that we were made to walk through life with each other. That there’s power in having someone by your side, whether they share your face or just share your heart.

Fourteen sets of twins.

One unforgettable story.

And a future stitched with double the grace.
