The
world's first surviving septuplets have graduated from their Iowa high school.
Alexis, Brandon, Joel, Kelsey, Kenny, Natalie and Nathan McCaughey all crossed
the stage Sunday as part of Carlisle High School's class of 2016.
The
McCaughey siblings, who live in Carlisle in central Iowa, gained international
fame for their births in 1997. They were on the cover of national magazines and
featured on network television shows.
The
septuplets were born Nov. 19, 1997, ranging in weight from 2 pounds, 5 ounces
to 3 pounds, 4 ounces. Their mother had taken a fertility drug before
conceiving them.
The
septuplets also have an older sister named Mikayla.
CBS
affiliate KCCI reports that two of the seven siblings plan to enroll at
Hannibal-LaGrange University in Missouri, where their parents were told they
would receive a free education.
