Mrs. Dudley

Hello! I’m Mrs. Dudley, and I’m excited to be joining the team this year. I have spent the past 23 years working as both a Special Education teacher and Reading Specialist. I love helping students discover their strengths and build confidence.  My hope is to help students feel supported, challenged, and successful as they grow throughout the year.

I live in McHenry with my husband, our 6 year old son, and our two dogs. When I’m not at school, you can usually find me spending time outdoors, cooking, exploring new places, or working on a creative project. I look forward to sharing an exciting year of learning, growth, and fun together. Go Trojans!

About Mrs. Stirsman:
Teaching is not what I do it's who I am. I have been teaching at MMS for 28 years and it just keeps getting better. My passion is inspiring students to challenge themselves to strive for their personal best. All I ask for is effort, and you will do great in my classes. My philosophy is simple; everyone can and will learn in my classes. We have many laughs along the way, but we always get down to business. I hope you are looking forward to a great year. Middle school is a time in your lives that brings many positive opportunities, so take advantage of the activities here at MMS too. Enjoy your sixth-grade year on our team!

I have a husband named Scott, and we have four beautiful children - Delaney, Ashton, and the twins- Parker and Kameryn   I emjoy watching my kids play their sports and love being out in the sun! We have a chocolate lab named "Tracker".
