According to the Dean of Horizon Science Academy, who refused to provide her name to our reporter, the fight happened inside a bathroom at the South Monmouth Street campus just after 2 p.m. Tuesday.
The dean stated the two girls were involved in an argument and planned the fight just before 8th period classes. A teacher noticed the girls were tardy to class and sent them to the dean's office. The girls denied any fighting.
A concerned parent who noticed the disturbing video posted on the social media website Wednesday contacted News Center 7 and the dean of the school to call attention to the video.
The dean said she called the female students involved to her office and suspended the two girls involved in the fight. The student who recorded the fight with her cell phone was suspended for five days, and the girls who watched the bathroom fight were suspended for three days.
In addition to fighting, the dean stated the school also has a policy that all cell phones stay in student lockers.
