Meet Our Principal
Welcome to Penn Elementary School! Penn was the first Iowa City Community School District school in North Liberty and has been an integral part of the North Liberty community since 1961. Our Penn community is filled with dedicated teachers, a caring staff, involved families and students who thrive academically and socially. At Penn Elementary we have created a culture that feels like home where everyone is welcome, seen and supported.

About Penn Elementary
Built in 1961, Penn Elementary School was the first Iowa City Community School District facility built in North Liberty. Over the past 50 years, though, the school, which was intended to serve 300 students, it has grown to more than 500 students. It continues to grow as North Liberty is developed and currently serves 570 students. Due to the longstanding nature of the school in North Liberty there is a lot of pride in the community around, Penn Elementary.
