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.

News from the Student Council

The Student Council officers and representatives have decided on having a school-wide door decorating contest.  Each homeroom can participate in decorating your door with the theme: "Holidays around the World".  Our students come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, so this is an opportunity for them to express how they celebrate the coming holidays with their family. 

 

All doors should be completed by Wednesday, Dec 15th as judging will take place at the end of the day.  Three winners will be announced by levels (PreK- 2nd, 3-5th and 6-8th) on Thurs. Dec 16th and prizes will be given on Friday, Dec 17th.
