It's a year in the books for first-year Monticello superintendent Adam Clapp.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Clapp told Regional Radio his first year as the head of the school district went well as he felt he was well prepared and had great support staff around him.

Clapp explains his predecessor, Dr. Vic Zimmerman took on a consulting role with the Illinois Association of School Administrators, or IASA, and has been someone Clapp could lean on.

According to Clapp, there are several things as part of the process of being the Superintendent that he is familiar with but there were also things that are new for him. He suggests one of the biggest changes is that he's not around the students as much as he used to be.

Clapp was the principal of the high school before he became the superintendent this year so it was fun to see many students he had developed relationships with in the last few years graduate this past weekend.
