Willowbrook senior wins SkillsUSA State title

Willowbrook senior John Khouri might have a hearing impairment, but that doesn’t stop him from achieving his dreams.

From April 3 to 5, Khouri competed with the Technology Center of DuPage (TCD) team in the SkillsUSA State finals and won the Auto Body Refinishing Division.

“We’re very happy and very proud,” said John’s father, Ihab. “He did a great job.”

As the State champion, Khouri has qualified to compete in the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference, which will take place from June 23 to 27 in Kansas City.
