A Prince George’s County Public Schools teacher is facing charges in connection with a physical altercation with a student inside of a classroom at Largo High School on Friday.

On Friday, at approximately 10:25 am, the teacher and the student got into physical confrontations inside of a classroom. Neither the student or teacher required medical attention.
The physical assaults were caught on cell phone video. Moments after, Prince George’s County Police officers were notified and investigators were summoned to the school.
The preliminary investigation reveals the student, a 17-year-old, was upset with the teacher for contacting the student’s parents the night before and approached the teacher. During that encounter, the student admits to stepping on the teacher’s foot and bumping into the teacher with her shoulder. The teacher then repeatedly struck the student. School employees quickly stepped in and separated the teacher and student. Once they were separated, the student grabbed the teacher from behind and repeatedly struck her before once again being separated.
The teacher, Noirie, is charged with physical child abuse and second degree assault. Due to the student’s status as a juvenile, we will not be releasing any further details regarding the nature of the charges detectives are pursuing against the student.
Anyone who has information that could assist detectives with this investigation are asked to call our Child Abuse and Vulnerable Adult Unit at 301-772-4930.
