Most people don’t pay close attention to who they pass in the hallway. For most, the many faces seem to blend together. Others may feel like they are actually seeing double. Perhaps it’s because they are. From genetics to coincidence and celebrity look-alikes, LHS has quite a few doppelgängers roaming the halls.

Sophomore Ale Diaz: “We do this thing,”

Sophomore Romeo Salih: “where we can,”

Diaz: “finish each others,”

Salih:“sentences.”

“We became friends because we saw the resemblance when we first met,” Diaz said.

Seniors Jay and Truman Butler:

Jay: “I think it depends on the person whether or not they think we look alike, it’s more like the people we don’t know.”

Truman: “We get that we look like Zack and Cody a lot, (Dylan and Cole Sprouse). So those are the celebrities we get a lot.”

Special Services teacher Jordan English:

“One that I have gotten since high school is Neil Patrick Harris from ‘How I Met Your Mother’, which is funny. There will be random strangers that feel the need to tell me that. I don’t really know why.”

Junior McKenna Still:

“Yes, I have gotten Neil Patrick Harris. Fun fact, one of my eighth grade teachers used to call me Doogie Howser because I looked so much like him, which is a character that Neil Patrick Harris played.”

Juniors Sarah, Sam and Katie Parrott:

“It’s fun being a triplet. I enjoy it. It’s hard because it’s very competitive. We are all very competitive in everything that we do.”– Katie

“More often than not when we are out in public, if we are at a grocery store and we are all in line the cashier says ‘are you guys twins?’ and we say ‘no we are triplets.”– Sam

“I always wanted to play a prank like in elementary school, pretend I was Sarah for a day and wear her glasses. Since we are not actually identical, we are fraternal; the teachers would have figured it out. We have different personalities too. She is very outspoken, very outgoing and really personable. I used to be really shy and quiet. They would have been able to tell right away just by personality. When people say ‘oh you look so much alike’ between Sarah and I, we don’t see it.”– Katie

Basketball Coach Roger Stirtz:

“What’s interesting is my father was at one of the previous games and someone came up to us and said, ‘aww you really look like your dad.’ Especially, I think our sixth grader Bennett and I resemble more than Mason, Cooper or even Caden [pictured next to Coach Stirtz]. I think if you lined up Benett, me and my father you’d see three generations there of resemblance.”

Senior Jay Gordon says: “It’s sort of funny, people joke about it in class and it’s just fun. During the World Series parade a few people around the street said something to me and my brother about it.”

Sarah Ragan: “I don’t get it a lot that my mom and I look alike. Actually there

are a lot of times that when people figure out that she’s my mom, they’re shocked.”

Math teacher Sandra Ragan: “It’s awesome having my daughter look like me. Sarah reminds me of when I was younger; she looks very similar to what I did when I was younger.”

English teacher Melissa Jones: “I see the similarities, but I also see a lot of differences. I noticed it the most when kids come back to sharpen their pencil and they are looking at all the pictures and they’re like ‘you look just like your daughter.’ I’m glad we look alike because my son doesn’t look anything like me so it’s nice to have one of my children [look like me].”

Emma Jones: “We do sound alike, our laugh is exactly the same.”

Audrey Azpell: “We were in the front seat, she’s driving, I am in the passenger’s seat and my (used to be) boyfriend was like ‘hey babe’ and she was driving. I’m like, ‘I’m right here!’ He was like, ‘oh my gosh!’ It was so awkward.”

Braylin Stevens:“My mom has called me Audrey before. I walked downstairs and she goes ‘Audrey what are you doing here?’ I was like ‘Mom! It’s Me! Your daughter, Braylin! Would you rather me go get Audrey?’”

Attendance Secretary Michelle Dickey:

“I guess it’s a compliment. Feels good. It’s odd. It’s all new. I am not used to being told I look like anybody [Hope Wanless picutred to the right].”
