In a message to parents, Principal Scott Lyons said students had planned "several pranks on campus," including throwing balloons filled with water and other substances at other students.
Russ Smith, senior director of security for the school system, said school officials are taking the incident seriously.
"Somebody gets hit with a water balloon. They don't like it. So, the potential is there for there to be a physical altercation," Smith said.
Teachers and administrators kept students in their classrooms during seventh period as a precaution, he said.
A school system spokeswoman said one Enloe student was hospitalized after being bitten by a snake at the school. It wasn't clear whether that injury was related to the pranks.
