AHWATUKEE, AZ -- Parents, teachers and staff are seeing double at one Valley school. 

That's because there are 15 sets of twins.  There is also a set of triplets.

Assistant Principal Michael Lamp has never seen anything like it in his 13 years in education.  And by the way, he is also a twin.  "You would think I could tell them apart, have a magic pill being a twin, but I make the same mistakes as everybody."

Kyrene De Las Lomas Elementary School in Ahwatukee has 800 students.  Statistically, only one in 90 births ends in twins. 

"Must be something in the water," says Michelle Halloway, mother of 7-year-old twins Kennedy and Kendalle.  Her girls are in separate classes for the first time.  "It's been great."

Parents get to decide if their twins stay in the same class or if they are separated. "We do things together, but not all the time," says Kennedy.
