Business Enterprise is a collaboration of three teachers, Mr. Harrell, Mrs. McKee and Mr. Sill. It began in Fall 2006 and El Diamante is the only school county-wide to offer it. Most schools have a virtual business in which each participating student manages their own virtual company, selling a set quota of products per day and having a preset quota of expenditures per day. El Diamante's Business Enterprise class, headed by Mrs. McKee, is a real business, specializing in t-shirt sales, sports programs and the school's new online web store. Still in early development, it has only conducted business locally, but is in the process of branching out further.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or enterprise:
“After all, the chief business of the American people is business.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The chief lesson of the Depression should never be forgotten. Even our liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened by another breakdown of our free enterprise system. We can no more afford another general depression than we can afford another total war, if democracy is to survive.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
