Smith prepped under head coach Tom Halbmaier for a trio of seasons, helping Bentonville High School to a share of the 2020 6A state title. Joining teammate Emily Sanders in the Blue and Gold, the 5-foot-8 guard earned back-to-back All-6A West accolades before landing an All-State selection at the conclusion of her senior season. Smith, a career 43 percent shooter from three-point range, went off for 25 points on 10-of-11 shooting from the field as a junior in her single-game career best and was a part of the Tigers' 6A West championship teams in consecutive seasons.
