Georgetown Day School (often abbreviated GDS) is a private high school in Washington, DC. GDS began competing in quizbowl along with It's Academic in the mid-1980s, one of the first DC-area schools to do so. In 2001, GDS finished in 2nd place at the PACE NSC. In partnership with Banneker High School, GDS won the 2001 PAC. In a more recent string of successes, spurred on by Ian Eppler, GDS tied for 21st place at the 2007 NAQT HSNCT and for 17th place at the 2008 NAQT HSNCT. Their 2009 team placed 3rd at the 2009 PACE NSC and tied for 5th at the 2009 NAQT HSNCT.
Tournaments
GDS' tournament is traditionally called the Ben Cooper Memorial Tournament, named for the former GDS player that is also the namesake of the PACE Academic Ambassador Award. It has been held at different times of the year, and formats have ranged from mACF to NAQT to modified It's Academic. GDS hosted the 2007 Maryland/DC NAQT Championship, held on April 21, 2007 and won by Richard Montgomery, along with an NAQT tournament held on December 15th, 2007 that was won by Thomas Jefferson. It served as the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic site for the No Name Tournament, which Walter Johnson won on November 8, 2008.
It's Academic
GDS is a 3-time It's Academic Superbowl champion, most recently in 1997. The quizbowl and It's Academic teams separated for the 2008-09 season, though membership overlapped substantially.
