Morgan City Police say they responded at 4:17 pm on March 24 to a report of a threat.
The teen, who attends the school, was identified by police as the person who posted the threats online.
A warrant was obtained for the student's arrest and he was transported to the Morgan City Jail and booked on a charge of Terrorizing.
An investigation, police say, is ongoing.
