In 2021, Aaron, Brandon, and Christopher Williams-Orr made headlines as the top three graduates at Providence St. Mel Middle School in Chicago. Now, just three years later, the brothers have made history once again—graduating high school together on May 24, 2025.
Their next chapter? All three are headed to the University of Illinois this fall.
Aaron will pursue a degree in computer engineering, Brandon is diving into business, and Christopher plans to major in political science. Their individual paths may differ, but their bond remains unshakable.
“We won’t leave each other behind.”
