Steele coaches who were in the area killed the snake to avoid it from biting anyone else. The student was taken to a local hospital for evaluation and possible treatment, district officials said.
The district said recent rain, along with ongoing construction in the area, might have caused the rattlesnake to venture onto school grounds.
A maintenance crew inspected the affected area and will treat it as needed.
