Seeing Double? Life of Twins
There is something so fascinating about multiples. The chance of being born an identical twin is 1 in every 250 births. SMHS hosts more sets of twins than most schools of similar size. There are seven sets of twins at SMHS. Twins begin bonding while in the womb, and the majority remain close throughout their entire life.
Lets take a look at an interview given to two sets of twins who attend SMHS:
