Administrators at a Maryland high school are investigating after 10 fights broke out in one day.
The series of fights happened Tuesday at Charles Herbert Flowers High School in Prince George’s County, school officials told FOX 5, but it was unclear if anyone was injured.
Videos on social media showed a large fight breaking out in the high school’s hallways as dozens of students watched.
In a letter to parents on Wednesday, administrators said that “a series of multiple altercations” occurred on Tuesday.
“While we understand that conflicts may arise, we must emphasize the importance of resolving disputes through constructive means. We believe in fostering a positive and respectful school environment, and such behavior will not be tolerated and does not reflect the values we aim to instill in our students,” the letter said.
“Security guards are everywhere. Like, every time there’s a fight, there’s going to be a security guard there to break it up, besides some of them,” one student told DC News Now.

Agnes Kallon, a mother of a student at the high school, told the outlet that the series of fights was worrying.
“[I’m] sad and disappointed, because I don’t want my son involved or around him,” said Kallon. “What if someone ends up in the hospital or is shot or killed? And you think, as a parent, you are working, your child is safe, but the next thing, you will get a phone call [says] ‘your son is in the hospital.’ It’s really worrying.”
