Interested in learning more about your City?

Published on July 10, 2025

Applications are open for Centennial 101, a free program designed to help you discover how our City works. Participants will explore what makes Centennial unique, learn how tax dollars are spent, step into the shoes of Elected Officials and City Staff through hands-on scenarios, and uncover ways to get more involved in the community.

Applications are due by 5 p.m. on August 1. Space is limited—only 30 participants will be accepted for this year’s class.

Classes are on Thursdays from 5:30 to 9 p.m., beginning August 28 and ending October 2. Most classes will take place at the City’s Eagle Street Facility located at 7272 S. Eagle Street. Attendance each Thursday is required.

You may be interested in Centennial 101 if:

• You have an interest in your City and community and want to learn more.
• You have been involved in the community or are just curious how the City works.
• You are new to Centennial, or have lived here since before it was a City.
• You pay taxes and want to know how that money is being spent.
• You love local politics – or hate local politics.
• You like to meet new, interesting people.
• You want to peek behind the scenes.

Selected participants will be notified the week of August 11.
