The Maggie L. Walker Governor's School for Government and International Studies (often abbreviated as Maggie Walker or Gov) is a public magnet high school located in Richmond, Virginia. Formerly known simply as "Governor's School", it operated as a separate school within the building of Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond until the fall of 2001, when it moved into the renovated Maggie Walker High School building. The school's quizbowl team was coached by John Barnes from 1999-2013, by Hana Reed from 2013-2018, and by Adam Rotche starting in fall 2020. From 1997 to 2017, they produced the GSAC packet set. The school also ran a novice tournament called HAVOC in April of 2008 and 2009.
