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.

Celebrating Pulaski Day and ISAT testing and an author visit, mother son adventure ...

This is an exciting and busy week for the Pennoyer Hawks!

We enjoyed a day off in honor of Polish hero Casimir Pulaski, thanks to his heroic efforts many years ago, we enjoy our freedom today!

This is the annual state testing time, all students in grades 3-8 will be tested in reading and mathematics; and students in grades 4 and 7 will be tested in science.

We are excited this week to welcome local author and artist Kevin Luthardt back to Pennoyer!

Great times, great learning, great experiences.
