Willowbrook seniors participate on Career and Technical Education College of DuPage Student Leadership Team

Throughout the school year, eight Willowbrook seniors have participated in the Career and Technical Education (CTE) College of DuPage (COD) Student Leadership Team.

The students were chosen to be part of that team, and, as members, they represented Willowbrook and the school’s CTE department by attending Student Leadership Academy events. The Willowbrook team is sponsored by CTE Department Chair Mary Barney and CTE teacher Steve Chojnacki.

Amanda Brzuszkiewicz, Coordinator of Non-Traditional CTE at COD, organizes the events throughout the year, as well as a scholarship competition. Students are able to have their résumé reviewed and participate in mock interviews, leadership training and career-building seminars at COD, North Central College, ITT Technical Institute and Lewis University, as well as CTE events at Willowbrook.

The Willowbrook seniors on the team are James Guerrier, George Dawson, Alexis Cazarez, Joseph Draus, Avery Kirchner, Nicholas Eufrasio, Kristian Johansen and Juan Gallegos.
