It happened just after 11:00 a.m., and grew into multiple fights that spilled outside the school.

Police officers and EMS arrived and they were able to disperse the crowd.

Police said one of the students in the fight was arrested for outstanding warrants, but not because of being in the fight.  The school plans to handle discipline from the incident.

Meanwhile, USD-259 confirms that pepper spray was used at Southeast High on Wednesday to disperse an unruly crowd of students.  It also took place durning the lunch period.

Officials say no students were directly sprayed, and there were no serious injuries.  The school resource officer and staff were able to handle the situation, and no arrests were made.

The district says they are increasing the amount of adult supervision.
