I'm currently a senior at speedway and it's been amazing. I transferred here in the fall of my junior year and I was nervous about starting over but they made it super easy. The classes are drilling enough and their AP program is wonderful. The teachers are very helpful as well as the principal and the vice principal

As an alumnus of SHS, I'm pleased with the changes they've made in the last 20-something years. I've found the staff easy to work with and pleasant.
