About this template
Use this formal High School Diploma to mark the day someone graduates. It suits schools, colleges and academies, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. IM FELL English SC sets the title and Cardo carries the details, with a ribbon rosette giving the page its character. You will also find it under School on CerShare.

How to customise it
Every word is editable, from the title to the signature line. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are IM FELL English SC and Cardo. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Prefer another look? Switch to the Ivory & Navy or Ivy Green colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Aref Ruqaa.
Printing tips
A cream, linen-textured paper of around 120 lb text (180 gsm) suits this classic layout. Download the PDF at the paper size you will print on (A4 or US Letter) and set the printer to “Actual size” or 100%. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
