Naperville Quintuplets Graduate High School

(CBS) -- Among those graduating from high school this weekend are quintuplets from Nequa Valley in Naperville.

Paddy, Grace, Aidan, Betsey and Clare aren't even the only Collinses at their school.

Another girl, no relation, has had her locker in between them and crossed the stage among them this morning, according to the quint's mom, Bridget Collins.

The family is so big that they had to get a limo to take them to and from graduation so they could all ride together with their older brother and mom and dad.

Bridget Collins says she's been weepy leading up to this major milestone.

"Between being proud and happy, I felt a little bittersweet," she said. "They are graduating, I am done with that sort of mom duties now."

All of the quints are going to College of DuPage next year except for Grace, who's headed to ISU in Normal.

She says it'll be different to be somewhere where no one knows she's a quint, unless they ask.
