Congratulations to Dublin High School’s Amiria Thomas!

A proud member of the Fighting Irish Family since Pre-K, Amiria was named the 2025 Youth of the Year during the Dublin St. Patrick’s Festival Joint Civic Luncheon. This prestigious honor adds to her already incredible accomplishments—she was recently named the Black Festival’s Youth of the Year and currently serves as Miss Black Dublin.

A dual-enrollment student, Amiria shines in the classroom, cheers on the Fighting Irish as a football and basketball cheerleader, represents the Class of 2025 on Dublin High School’s Student Government Association, and is an active member of FBLA, Beta Club, and the track team.

Beyond her time at school, she serves as the City Manager for the City of Dublin’s Youth Council and is a Teen Court Attorney. She is also a 2023 graduate of Laurens Youth Leadership and a 2024 graduate of the Morris Bank Advisory Council. In addition, she has served as a youth advisor on the Irish Healthcare Planning Committee and a Fairview Park Hospital Youth Volunteer.

She is also an award-winning dancer, dedicating many hours each week to training at Fancy Dancer.

This fall, she’ll take her talents to Valdosta State University, where she plans to major in nursing.
