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.

Announcing an event from Northern IL University

STEMfest brochure_083011.pdf Download this file

Every October, STEMFest packs NIU’s Convocation Center with exhibits, activities, and

competitions that help K-12 students and their families explore science, technology, engineering,

and math (STEM). One of the most rewarding parts of this festival is seeing the “eureka” moment

in children’s eyes when they see the world in an entirely new way. Kids who attend STEMFest

today might change the world tomorrow.
