About Pennoyer

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.

Veteran's Day Assembly! Pride in our nation, pride in our community, pride in ourselves!

All members of the Pennoyer School family, faculty, staff, students, and administration, welcomed local veteran's including our student's parents, grandparents, uncles, and members of the village veteran's department in the Veteran's Day Assembly.

With speeches, songs, flag-waving displays of patriotism, as well as a presentation of thank you notes from students to the veterans, the assembly was a GREAT kick off to the day as well as a great school-wide THANK YOU to the men and women who fight and defend so that we are free.

Thank you to Mrs. Michaels, Mrs. Petergal, Mrs. Miceli, the students involved, and everyone else who joined together to organize and support the assembly.
