In the Career and Technology Department at Mount Pleasant High School, the Business Information Management I (BIM I) class in the Business cluster aims to develop technology skills with applications to personal or business situations. This course focuses on word processing, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing, presentation management, telecommunications, networking, operating systems, emerging technologies, and intermediate level skills.

As part of the personal business letter lesson, students chose a celebrity, researched their fan mail address, and composed a letter to the celebrity explaining why they were writing the letter, why they chose them, and asked for an autographed photo. MPHS junior, Lee Davis, wrote to L.A. Beast, a YouTube sensation and competitive eater, whose YouTube channel has over 2.8 million subscribers. His videos have 500 million total views as of 2023. In addition to his online presence, he has made appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Today Show Australia, and Tosh.0.

Davis recently received an autographed photo with L.A. Beast writing on the photo, “I hope you get an A+!!!” BIM I is taught by Jackie Scoggins.
