myDict = {"John":["Maths261","Econ120"],"Mathew":["CSIS256","Econ120"]} 

classFind = raw_input("Enter Name to find class:") 

if classFind in myDict.keys() :
    print myDict[classFind]

else :
    print "Not Found"

If you enter someone's name you will be returned their courses.

for name, classes in myDict.iteritems():
    if classfind in classes:

Assuming you are searching names as opposed to classes, you could replace the for loop with

tmpVal = myDict.get(classFind, "Not found")
print(tmpVal)

which I believe follows the hint in the comment to your question.

So if the value of classFind is a key in your dictionary, its value will be printed. Otherwise it will print "Not found".
