Maggie Walker Governors School (often Maggie Walker or Gov for short) is a public magnet school located in Richmond Virginia. Formerly known simply as "Governors School", it was attached to Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond until the fall of 2001, when it moved into the abandoned Maggie Walker High School. The quizbowl team was coached by John Barnes from 1999-2013, and by Hana Reed since 2013. They host the annual house-written GSAC tournament in December, which has been well-received for its quality and mirrored nationally in recent years. The school also ran a novice tournament called HAVOC in April of 2008 and 2009.

Maggie Walker teams have won the NAQT Virginia Championship in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 and the AAA VHSL State Championships in 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2011. Following the 2014 VHSL Realignment, Maggie Walker won the 2A VHSL State Championship in 2014, 2015, and 2017, losing only one game of Scholastic Bowl during that stretch (to the 2016 State Champions, Central of Wise County).
