Welcome to my classroom! My name is Matthew Speak, and I am excited to share my love for teaching, storytelling, and the visual arts with you this year. When I’m not in the classroom or rooting for the Chicago Cubs, I work as a photographer, award-winning filmmaker, and best-selling author of books like Devil's Glen. As a member of the Horror Writers Association, I love bringing my real-world creative experiences into our daily lessons. I look forward to helping all of my students find their own unique perspectives, creative voices, and strengths this school year! This year, I am directing our brand new theatre program, so if you are interested in doing a play, either on stage or behind the scenes, please see me! You can find me in A29.
