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.

NIU STEM Demonstration

Science, technology, engineering, and math came to life as students watched Jeremy Benson demonstrate the properties of nitrogen, laser, lights, and electricity.

Students watched what occurs when electricity hits a pickle. You may ask "how does this relates to us?" Pickles contain a great deal of sodium as does the human body. The electrical heat fried the pickle as lightening or electricity would burn the human body.
