This Florida high school’s graduating class will make you look twice.

The jokes about seeing double as Cooper City High School’s 543 graduates walked across the stage earlier this month practically wrote themselves. The Fort Lauderdale area school’s class of 2024 included a staggering 14 sets of twins and one set of triplets. 

“Well we knew we had quite a few twins seeing them around campus. [We] didn’t quite know the actual number until just recently when a parent brought it up,” Principal Vera Perkovic told NBC 6 South Florida

“I was like, 14? Fourteen? That’s such a big number,” twin Jordan Gara told NBC Miami.

Though there’s no official count, Broward County Public Schools believes the graduates have set a county record as most sets of twins to simultaneously graduate from one school.

“Your whole life when you’re a twin, you kind of stand out. People are always pointing it out to you and talking about how you’re a twin,” student Jocelyn Reed, who graduated with her twin sister Gabrielle, told NBC Miami. “So it’s kind of crazy to see that there’s so many other people in the same situation.”

According to NBC 6, the triplets and five sets of twins will stay together when they move on to college in the fall.

"It was very special as they would come across the stage; I would shake their hand and give one a diploma, and then the second one would come over to do the same thing," Vera Perkovic, the school's principal, told Today. "It kind of just symbolized they're their own person, but also, they have been together all these years as twins.”

Congratulations, y’all!
