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.

Thank you PTC

Once again we want to say thank you to the Pennoyer PTC for their generous donation of funds! As a community we all work together to provide the best and most enriching educational opportunities possible for our students. Since 1993 the PTC has raised more than $360,000 to support the educational enrichment for the Pennoyer students! It takes a village to raise, support, and educate a child, and the PTC and all members of the Pennoyer community certainly help make our village a very special and enriching one. We have been educating the minds of tomorrow since 1840.
