As graduation season continues, one New Jersey high school is making headlines for having 15 sets of twins in its graduating class.

New Jersey’s Ridgewood High School has 419 seniors in its class of 2024, and 30 of those students are twins, according to the Bergen Record.

As CBS News reports, the majority of the twins are fraternal and pride themselves on their differing personalities.

"We have similar friend groups. But at the same time, we do have different friends. And we like to do different activities," twin Charlotte Sands said of the differences between her and sister Ella.

Although generally grouped together throughout their lives, the twins of Ridgewood High didn't have to worry about that on June 19, at least when it came to lining up, as the school grouped students for graduation based on height and sex.

In April, Pennsylvania’s Norwin High School also had a notable amount of twins, with 11 sets in its graduating class.

"It is my ninth year as the building principal," Norwin High School Principal Dr. Michael Choby said at the time. "I don't remember it happening in the past. It's exciting because of the camaraderie amongst the students."

"I also am a parent of twins," Choby added. "So I have twins here at Norwin School District, not in high school yet, but someday. I don't know if there's something the water."
