The meteoric rise of Johnny Hilbrant, the comedian and content creator who stars as the viral social media character “PE Guy,” was featured in The New York Times and Business Insider earlier this month. Hilbrant, an alum of The Winnetka Public Schools, joins Superintendent Dr. Kelly Tess for a special summer episode of “Winnetka Voices.” Hilbrant honed his early creative talents at Crow Island School and later graduated from Carleton Washburne School (2004) and New Trier High School (2008). He reflects on pursuing an unconventional path shaped by curiosity, authenticity and a willingness to take risks that may lead in unexpected directions. Learn more about the inspiration behind Hilbrant's unique brand of satire, and his thoughts on tempering success with gratitude.
