A North Carolina high school receptionist stunned students on their last day of school on Wednesday, by giving a stellar rendition of an Etta James classic.

Regina Ballard posted a video on Wednesday of herself singing 'At Last' over the PA system at North Lincoln High School in Lincolnton, North Carolina.

'I love my job, y'all, but I look forward to summers when I can spend time with my grands & family, sooo...here it is...At Last!!!' Ballard said in the video's caption.

Comments on the video all point to the woman's amazing voice.

And she got away with singing a song that mentions heaven to school students without being chastised, blessings all around.

Great job but...no kids in the hallway, no normal school main office activity. Reenactment?

Perhaps, but at the beginning she said it’s 3 and school’s out at 3:15 so I imagine they were probably just in their classrooms counting down the clock.

At any normal school there would be some kids walking by in the hall.
