Devon told PEOPLE about his amazing achievement, “It’s all about balance; letters, grades, and numbers don’t mean anything if you aren’t having fun.”
The boys are not only brilliant in academics, but also love participating in extracurricular activities and are members of Herricks’ volleyball team.
Apart from volleyball, the brothers love to perform music and are very fond of running and take part in 10K’s, half-marathons, and full marathons.
Devon now looks forward to joining Cornell University, while Dylan is on his way to Yale University.
Dylan mentions that he “spent a lot of time hanging out with friends, playing volleyball, and playing music.” He did not only focus on academics but learned the value of knowing himself and his needs.
Meanwhile, officials at the Long Island high school praised Devon for his intense focus and hard work in completing some of the most difficult courses offered at Herricks High School.
