About Pennoyer
- Pennoyer Superintendent
- Pennoyer School proudly educates children from parts of Norridge, Harwood Heights, and unincorporated Norwood Park Township. During the 1830's, the Pennoyer family came from new England and settled in what is now known as Norridge. The land they settled laid between what is now East River Road and Cumberland Avenue. In 1838, members of the community met at the home of John Pennoyer to discuss the plans for the development of a school. The school began in 1839, in Pennoyer's home. In 1954 it was decided to build a new school at the corner of Cumberland and Foster Avenue. A major addition was added in 2001. The school district proudly educates children in grades PK-8.

Message from the Superintendent - Audio with Photos
Message about Pulaski Day and the upcoming ISAT Testing
On Monday, March 7, 2011, we celebrate Pulaski Day - Students have the day off as we honor this great Polish-American Hero
From WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_Pulaski
After arriving in America, Pulaski wrote to Washington, "I came here, where freedom is being defended, to serve it, and to live or die for it."[
His first military engagement against the British was on September 11, 1777, at the Battle of Brandywine. When the Continental troops began to yield, he reconnoitered with Washington's bodyguard, and reported that the enemy were endeavoring to cut off the line of retreat. He was authorized to collect as many of the scattered troops as came in his way, and employ them according to his discretion, which he did in a manner so prompt as to effect important aid in the retreat of the army.[11] His courageous charge averted a disastrous defeat of the American cavalry and saved the life of Washington.[13] As a result, on September 15, 1777, Washington promoted Pulaski to brigadier general of the American cavalry.[12]
