Daughter heard "clunking" noise from front drivers side while driving 25-30 mph. She had parked in a shallow, off-road parking spot at high school and I think she might have bent or tore something up getting back on pavement. Any possibilities what it could be? Thank you.

Hello,
There could be any number of components that can create that type of noise.
It could be due to a broken sway bar link. Worn busing or any other damaged or faulty components.

Best course of action would be to do a thorough inspection of the suspension and look for any damages or worn out components.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
