WTP 2010 Nationals Copy
After securing their spot as the Virginia We the People State Champion, Maggie L. Walker Governor's School represented the Commonwealth of Virginia at the 2010 We the People National Finals in Washington, D.C. on April 24-26, 2010, placing third in the nation. Teams from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands competed in this annual event. During the first two-days of competition, Maggie Walker earned enough points to continue to the final top-ten round of competition, where they competed in the Senate Committee Hearing Rooms on Capitol Hill. During the three days of competition, students demonstrated their knowledge of the Constitution before simulated congressional committees made up of constitutional scholars, lawyers, journalists, state Supreme Court justices, and public officials.
