Day 23 of Black History Month

Twins Gloria and Victoria Guerrier do everything together, even being recognized as salutatorian and valedictorian of their class. With a 105.3 and 104.9 GPA, the sisters tied for first and second place at West Hempstead High School this year. They achieved a class ranking of top 5%.

“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 fraternal twin teenagers are “extremely delighted” to be able to fulfill their lifelong desire. The twins have a history of strong competition. They excel academically and are also track and field athletes.

“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.”
