Nine students and one adult were taken into custody at Palm Bay High School following what Melbourne police described as a "large-scale brawl" that broke out Monday afternoon.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, which began with two girls fighting in a hallway.
The ruckus happened about 1 p.m. as a school resource officer attempted to contain the dispute. Multiple students were involved in the fight, Melbourne police said.
The students — nine juveniles and one adult — were separated and taken into custody as back-up patrol officers from Palm Bay and the Brevard County Sheriff's Office converged on the school to assist the resource officers on-site.
The teens at the 1,600-student school could face a misdemeanor charge of disrupting a school function, Melbourne police reported.

"It was mayhem. We're investigating what happened and how it got to this," said Sgt. Martin Miller of the Melbourne Police Department.
Brevard Public School District officials also were reviewing the incident at the school, which is located at 101 Pirate Lane in Melbourne.
"There was a disturbance on campus," said Nicki Hensley, a spokeswoman for Brevard Public Schools. "It's been contained. They're looking into it, but that's all we have at the moment."
"There were multiple students involved," Hensley added via text, referring further comment to Melbourne police.
It was not immediately known if the students would be released into the custody of their parents or turned over to juvenile authorities.
