Future City 2008 Wrap Up Our Future City State Champs received their national scores this week, and once again we offer them our sincere congratulations. The team finished 13th in the entire nation and tied for 5th in the subcategory of “Oral Presentation”. That score in the speaking category was actually higher than the eventual national champions! The team scored 10th in their computer “City Map Score” and “Essay” categories and finished 11th for their physical model. We are proud of all our Future City teams!!!
