He says he typically only sings at church, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to continue showing students his personal side.

At the end of the video, Norris announced to students that he’s transferring to be an SRO at a local elementary school.

“I thought this would be another way that I could let them know that I was going to miss them, and I would still have them in my heart and in my mind and get to tell them goodbye,” said Norris.

Besides singing, Norris has learned the dance to Michael Jackson’s Billy Jean and performed it for students in the past.
