About this template
Use this timeless High School Graduation Certificate to mark the day someone graduates. It suits middle and high schools, and anyone else who wants the moment to feel official. It is shown here in forest green, with a graduation cap and tassel, Cormorant SC headings and Jost for the smaller text. Change a few words and it doubles as a school certificate.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Awarded to [Name] on graduating from [School]. Thank you for the questions, the laughter and the hard work.
Presented to [Name], Class of [Year], with pride in everything you have learned and excitement for everything still to come.
[Name] has met every requirement of the High School Graduation Certificate with determination and good humour. We are proud to call you a graduate.
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate, or keep the sample wording and just change the names. Text sizes adjust to fit, and you can choose another font for any line. Need portrait instead of landscape, or US Letter instead of A4? Change it in one click. Colours are yours to change: try Midnight and Gold, or match your own brand colours. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with El Messiri.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. Because of the dark background, check your ink first, or send the PDF to a local print shop.
