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.

Message from Governor Pat Quinn

Governor Pat Quinn proclaimed today, February 15, as “5Essentials Day” in Illinois to encourage students, teachers and parents to "take 15 minutes on the 15th" to complete the Illinois 5Essentials Survey. The survey opened on February 1 and to date, more than 150,000 people have completed it. The survey will remain open through the end of March 2013.
      “The Illinois 5Essentials Survey allows those on the front lines to have a voice, giving decision-makers greater insight into how we can strengthen our schools and make sure Illinois has one of the best education systems in the country,” Governor Quinn said. “Change happens from the bottom up. I encourage Illinois teachers, students and parents to take just 15 minutes to share their experience, wisdom and ideas about improving their local school.”
