She also was a part of film club for the two years while it existed. 

During her free time, she loves to bake and spend time with her loved ones. She is really excited about getting out in the world and trying new things and exploring what it has to offer.

“My experience in Montrose High School was amazing, I have made so many new friends and I am so glad I got to meet them,” Smith said. 

After graduation, she will be attending Colorado Mesa University in August, 2022, to get her bachelor’s degree in business. She chose CMU because of its close location and their strong business program.

Madi and her family are super happy and excited for her. Smith also says she’s really excited to graduate and move on with life, but she won’t forget a thing high school taught her.
