Fraternal twins at a Louisiana high school graduated at the top of their class Thursday as valedictorian and salutatorian.
The Advocate reported that Madison Zeringue is Catholic Dioceasan Regional High School's valedictorian and her brother, Mason Zeringue, is the class of 2019's salutatorian.
"These two kids never let anything or anyone stop them from being great," Aimee Zeringue Monaco, the twins' mother, told WAFB. "They were and are determined to not have to struggle as we did when they were growing up."
