"One, two, three, four, five ... "

They noticed the trend when they were younger.

"When we were like elementary school, there were three or four sets, and I guess growing up, we gonna, we thought it was normal."

"I'm actually surprised that we have so many twins in Baker. It's like, well, growing up, there are three sets. I'm a three, so I mean there are a lot."

"Eleven."

"Twelve."

But they never thought there were this many.

"Twelve sets of twins in one graduating class. It's a world record. The old record was 10 set in 2007."

So today, 24 kids from Baker high school had their names recorded in two places, on their diplomas and in the Guinness Book of World Records.

"We just found out today and mystically. This is history. This is awesome."

"I think it's just gonna be really cool, like opening up that book and like seeing our names in there and like everyone who graduated in our class. I think it's gonna be pretty cool."

"Bet something that no one else's gonna be able to have. I don't know, I can go to Boston as a central New Yorker. I'm already. I'm already looking right down the street from my family parks. So, I'm gonna have to dean myself as it is. So, it'll be a nice up on me."

But it doesn't stop there, one more twin was on the stage of graduation.

"Quite a few years ago I graduated in my own high school, a graduation with a twin. It's a pretty unique and special time for twins and great opportunity to be recognized and share this moment with somebody that's so close to you."

Twelve pairs plus one to complete the Baker's dozen.
