CLAREMONT : Quadruplets on Way to College Together

The 19-year-old Struve quadruplets have been through it all together--birth, work, high school--and now they’re planning to begin college together.

Kevin, Krista, Todd and Tonya were scheduled to be part of the graduating class at Claremont High School on Thursday and will join their older brother, Scott, at Cal Poly Pomona this year.

“It’s not that bad, it’s such a big school,” Krista Struve said. “At least you know somebody.”

The teen-agers’ mother, Connie, said she dreamed of seeing her quadruplets cross the commencement stage all at once.

There was really no doubt that any of the children would graduate, the quadruplets said. Their mother is a principal at Kingsley Elementary School in Pomona and their father, Richard Struve, teaches at Ramona Junior High School in Chino.

Claremont High School Assistant Principal Jim Wylie said the younger Struves were responsible student leaders on campus, adding, “From mystandpoint, I’m sorry to see them going.”
