Greetings! I am Mrs. Odessia M. Spruill-Corniffe. I have been a teacher for twenty years.  Seventeen of those twenty years were in Detroit, Michigan at a charter school as an 8th grade English Language Arts teacher. The remaining three years have been at Jack Benny. I served as a middle school teacher my entire career in education. It seemed to be my niche. The pedagogy that fits who I am is every child can learn when given the right support. My educational background is rooted in Detroit. I attended Wayne State University, where I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Education as well as my Master of Arts Degree in Counseling. I am excited to begin my next journey as a counselor where I can be more impactful with students in a way that truly shapes their future.

Hi!! I’m Mrs. Dunning. This is my 5th year at Jack Benny Middle School. I was an ESL teacher  at Benny before becoming a counselor in 2018. This is my 3rd year as a counselor at Benny. Before coming to Benny, I worked in the Special Education department at Mundelein High School for 9 years.

Outside of school, I love spending time with my son and my husband. I also enjoy working out, reading fantasy novels, and cooking with my family. I am looking forward to working with you and taking on the challenge of this exciting and unforgettable school year!
