Paige Brockway and Matthew Rossi, eighth-grade students at Holy Family School in Poland, hold the second-place trophy from the Future City Competition. Brockway and Rossi, along with a group of more than 20 other sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade Holy Family students, chose Youngstown as the city they would design in its future form. The competition asks participants to design a city, research a solution to a social problem and then build a model of the city using recycled materials. This was Holy Family’s best year in the state competition.
