The Baltimore County Police Department initially detained a suspect. They announced in a statement hours later that county officers had arrested a male student in connection with the stabbing.
The school was placed on a temporary lock-down, which has since been lifted.
Investigators are looking into how the weapon was brought into the school, according to a Baltimore County Police spokesman.
News traveled fast across campus, leaving students in shock.
"That something like that would happen is crazy," one student told WJZ.
This is the second incident in months where police were called to campus. Back in December, officers were sent to Kenwood High School after threats were made about a student with a weapon inside the school. No weapon was found, but a student was taken into custody.
