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.

Pennoyer School curriculum and instruction and assessment are aligned to and with the Illinois Learning Standards. Recently the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has joined a national partnership to create revised standards for learning and teaching. These new standards are part of what is known as the "Common Core". As new information is released from the state board of education, we will post this information on the main Pennoyer website under "Departments and Curriculum".
