Her only lines are: 'Enjoy yourself. Just remember, security's here.'
The video was posted to YouTube on Monday and it didn't take long for the married mother-of-three to be recognized by students at the school, according to the Southampton Patch.
Adler-O'Keefe said she was 'unaware of the content, lyrics, and title of the video' when she agreed to appear and finds the finished product 'vulgar, offensive, and demeaning', 27east reported.
The video features profane lyrics, sex, alcohol consumption and drug use. It was posted on YouTube Monday
Students at the school recognized the school employee in the video and the district found out about it as well
Adler-O'Keefe said she was 'unaware of the content, lyrics, and title of the video' and called the song 'offensive'
It is unclear whether the school district will take action against the employee.
Superintendent Dr Scott Farina said: 'The video in question showcases behaviors and language use that is not promoted by the Southampton School District.
'In fact, we actively teach our students the importance of good character and making smart choices.
'Additionally, this is not representative of who we are as a district, nor of our students and staff.'
The video has already been viewed almost 260,000 times.
