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.
