Prince said it appears some of the edibles were ingested and that others were flushed down the toilet.
The school district said it was also investigating the incident.
“Please, take some time tonight to discuss with your children that if at any time they become aware of a potential danger to themselves or others it is their duty to report it immediately to a staff member directly, our websites anonymous tip line or OK2SAY,” Superintendent Hubbard said in a letter to parents.
Police were not immediately available to comment to PEOPLE on Monday, but WXMI reported last week that investigators wanted to speak with cheerleader when she returned to Michigan from an out-of-state trip.
It appears no charges have been brought in connection with the incident.
It was unclear if the cheerleader won the homecoming vote.
