Pennoyer School District 79 is a school district headquartered in Norridge, Illinois. It operates the K-8 school Pennoyer School.

In addition to Norridge it also serves Harwood Heights and Norwood Park Township.[2]

Kristin Kopta of Arlington Heights became the superintendent on July 1, 2016.[3]

Built in 1956, Pennoyer School hasn't seen any major renovations, and is beyond its 25-year life expectancy. It still has its original lead piping. Two prior efforts to renovate the school, in 2018 and 2020, failed to pass their referendums due to the steep $25 million and $10.9 million price tag that would result in a new tax.[4][5] The proposed $7.9 million renovation in 2021 also failed, with 53% of voters rejecting it.[6]
