Texas twins LaTonya and LaToya Harris continue to reach historical levels in academic excellence.

After graduating high school as valedictorian and salutatorian ten years ago, the sisters will soon obtain their second master’s in clinical nutrition and their doctorate degrees in chiropractic medicine from Parker University.

According to Because of Them We Can (BOTWC), the twins will also enjoy valedictorian and salutatorian honors for the second time when they receive their latest degrees in December.

LaTonya and LaToya have been inseparable on their journey to greatness. The siblings shared a dorm at the University of Texas at Austin, where they received their bachelor's and master’s in sports management. They continued to stay close to each other as they pursued more accolades at Parker University. The twins said they don’t recall a time when they haven’t liked the same things.

"Our parents always left the decision up to us. They always wanted us to do what we wanted, and they never forced us to do anything the same," the sisters told Because Of Them We Can. "We both agree that we wouldn’t change anything about our journey because we understand that God planned it to happen exactly as it has, even if we didn’t.”

According to The Dallas Morning News, LaTonya and LaToya decided not to give speeches when they were valedictorian at South Garland High School, fearing that they would bore the audience. Instead, they stood at the lectern and delivered one sentence together.

"May we all make the best of our own futures, together," they said.

LaTonya received her diploma with a 4.58 grade-point average.

"I've known the girls since they were in about fifth grade, and they've always been dynamic," the school's principal, Charles Rose, told The Dallas Morning News in 2010.

Their excellence was also evident in sports, where they starred as softball players and track athletes. With their passion for athletics, the sisters decided to study sports management after high school.

"We love sports," they said in unison.

The 28-year-old women credit each other for the success they have each found.

“Your best friend gets to come to work with you every day," the sisters told BOTWC. "We are more efficient because we already know what each other is thinking. We can just look at each other and know what needs to be said or done next. We make one another so much better.”

The sisters plan to stick together for many more years. Their goal is to own a clinic and create a scholarship for other minority students looking to pursue careers in medicine.

“We feel we work much better together than apart," LaTonya and LaToya said. "We would love to have established our own practice in addition to a scholarship fund and mentorship program for minority doctors. We desperately want to help change the narrative of healthcare.”

As Blavity previously reported, another set of twins proved their prowess earlier this year when they were named valedictorian and salutatorian. La'nisha and Ron'nisha Richardson accomplished the remarkable achievement at Yazoo City High School in Mississippi, each graduating with 4.1 GPAs.

In Milwaukee, twins Arianna and Arielle Williams received acceptance letters from 37 colleges and secured more than $1 million in scholarships. The Williams sisters graduated from The Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy at the top of their class earlier this year.

"Honestly we were pushing for 40 college acceptances, but we ended up getting like 37. I was like 'oh man', but we still did good," Arianna told TMJ4.
