Gloria and Victoria Guerrier are twins and do everything together, including being named valedictorian and salutatorian.
Both sisters took the No. 1 and No. 2 spot at West Hempstead Secondary School this year with a 105. 3 and 104.9 GPA. They finished in the top 5% of their class.
“Their latest feat is just one of many accolades that they have achieved both in and outside of the classroom. They are in the top 5% of the secondary school’s graduating class and have never shied away from a challenging course load. Year after year, they have chosen and enrolled in the most rigorous advanced courses that were available to their grade level and excelled in them all, never earning lower than a perfect 100 on their transcript,” according to a press release from the school.
The teens are fraternal twins and “very happy” to live their longtime dream.
“It was nice just to know that I made it and I achieved my dream that I’ve been wanting for so long,” Gloria Guerrier told Good Morning America.
Victoria added, “We had been working for this for a long time, but we never know what can happen in the four years, so we’re very happy that it turned out the way we wanted.”
“From the very beginning, the first time anybody meets them, you can tell that they are special young ladies and that their ability to create a goal for themselves and create a plan and stick with that plan and their persistence was evident,” the school principal, Joseph Pumo said.
The twins have been super competitive with each other. In addition, to being academic stars, they are track and field athletes.
