"Students directly involved will be receiving appropriate disciplinary action that aligns with school district policy," a statement from Council Rock North High School Principal Susan McCarthy said.

Videos of the altercation were shared on social media, and Patch obtained the footage Monday.

McCarthy said it "goes without saying that behavior, such as the fighting that took place on Friday, is neither permissible, nor tolerated at Council Rock North. Additionally, threats of any kind are unacceptable and viewed as a serious violation of our school’s code of conduct. Please know that this incident was thoroughly investigated. Those students directly involved will be receiving appropriate disciplinary action that aligns with school district policy."

McCarthy noted she is "disheartened" when any student makes a choice that negatively impacts the wellbeing of others. She called on parents to address the matter. "Parents, please work with me from home to reinforce the important message that Council Rock North has high standards for student behavior."

The letter concluded: "My administrative team and I will continue to work hard from now until the end of the year to assure that Council Rock North maintains a safe environment for all."
