Chase and Derek Herzog are one of 15 sets of twins graduating from Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School on June 22 — something they never found unusual until recent news coverage made them realize “how unique we are,” Derek says.
The 18-year-old brothers, who share a friend circle with other twins in the class of 447, have always done everything together — from running track to volunteering to help seniors with technology.
“It’s an amazing experience just throughout our lives that we have someone with us all the time,” Derek says.
This fall, Derek will attend Ohio State, while Chase will study public health at Miami University of Ohio.
“I’m so excited,” Chase says. “So many things are going to change.”
