Black Twins Named Valedictorian And Salutatorian At NY High School

17-year-old, fraternal twins Gloria and Victoria Guerrier, will be valedictorian and salutatorian of West Hempstead Secondary School this year, with a 105.3 grade point average and 104.9 GPA, finishing in the top 5% of their graduating class, according to the West Hempstead Union Free School District.

The twins told Good Morning America,

"It was nice just to know that I made it and I achieved my dream that I've been wanting for so long," said Gloria Guerrier.

Victoria Guerrier 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."

The high school seniors are both athletic superstars, both earned All-State honors in track and field, a sport they want to pursue in college.

The Guerrier sisters will be attending Yale University in Connecticut in the fall.
