Electronic Information Magnet (EIM)
EIM (est. 1994) has the second largest student population out of the three magnets and is composed of students who generally wish to expand their abilities in Computer Science, Computer Programming, Web Design, or who wish to grasp the concepts in computer-based technology. This most recent addition to DMHS began in collaboration with several local business leaders, LAUSD Board Members, and the Los Angeles Central Library.
EIM is home to the Academy of Information Technology (AOIT), (similar to Business' Academy of Finance), which is also a part of the National Academy Organization. Students in AOIT are able to enroll in honors and advanced courses in order to gain skills necessary for the technology of the 21st century.
Currently, EIM holds a constant collaboration with the Los Angeles Central Library, being the only high school in the nation to hold this type of partnership. Both DMHS and the Central Library are used as instruction sites, allowing students and teachers to access the latest technology and information. In addition to the Central Library, EIM shares a partnership with Los Angeles City College (LACC).

Famous quotes containing the words electronic, information and/or magnet:
“The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“If you have any information or evidence regarding the O.J. Simpson case, press 2 now. If you are an expert in fields relating to the O.J. Simpson case and would like to offer your services, press 3 now. If you would like the address where you can send a letter of support to O.J. Simpson, press 1 now. If you are seeking legal representation from the law offices of Robert L. Shapiro, press 4 now.”

“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate. It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
