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).

He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.”
