I hate to say it but my brother was like that at that age. No matter what any of us said or did he never quit until he was arrested a couple times for assault and battery (one against his parents). Finally he went through counseling, and probation. He's learned some control. He still looses it some from his wife.
Some tough love is probably best here. Don't shield him from the school or hide it. My parents tried that and it obviously didn't help. My Dad got 3 broken ribs for his efforts, and my mom a sprained ankle. Talk to the school though about doing the best they can to help him get counseling, anger management, and the best tough love they can dish out. Get everyone on your side to help him learn some control now or he'll be in worse trouble later. Suspension is petty compared to what can happen in the future. Hopefully you can turn this around before it's too late. My prayers are with you.
Just a thought - possible a martial arts course where they teach control. Maybe it would help - not sure.
