Dragon Quiz Bowl team competes at National Championship over Memorial weekend

Quiz Bowl 2024-25

The Maggie Walker Quiz Bowl Team is preparing to compete in the High School National Championship Tournament (HSNCT) in Atlanta this weekend! We wish good luck to our team members: Andy Campbell (’25-Hanover), Bridget Finley (’27-Henrico), Bladen Kidd (’27-Richmond), David Lins (’26-Chesterfield), Rohan Neelakantan (’27-Henrico), Serine Oh (’28-Henrico), Brenden Stremler (’25-Chesterfield), and Katie Watson (’25-Chesterfield).

The HSNCT is NAQT’s premier high school event. The tournament is held at the end of each school year and features the top quiz bowl teams from across the United States and, increasingly, the world. Teams qualify for the HSNCT by their performance at regular-season tournaments using questions supplied by NAQT.

The MLWGS team will flex their brains for the whole weekend, facing off with top high school teams from around the country. Go Dragons!

Quiz Bowl is sponsored by Mr. Adam Rotche and Ms. Juanita Lasswell, who are both traveling to Nationals with their team.

    AY27 Snapshot #10: Staying curious

    Last year, I remember thinking that Homecoming Week at MLWGS was unlike anything I had experienced before. Between powderpuff games, home athletic events, and our lip sync battles, which really are next level, there is no shortage of school spirit! This year has been no different, and on Wednesday, I saw more wigs than I…
