In North Carolina, this principal stood at the podium on Graduation Day.

Instead of just a speech, he performed Whitney's "I Will Always Love You" to the entire graduating class.

Warning — It's the best seventy seconds you'll spend today...

But she truly appreciated what Whitney Houston did with it
I hope both Dolly and Whitney see this clip
I think they will love it

It was written by Dolly Parton and she sang it in Best Little Whore House in Texas in 1982.

Whitney sang it in the Body Guard a decade later.
