Questions
- Honor roll or high honors?
- Many schools have both, by grade or GPA. Change the heading in Word to match your school’s names.
- Are these certificate templates free?
- Yes. Download as many as you like as Word or PDF: no sign-up, no watermark.
- Can I edit them in Word?
- Yes. The design is the page’s background and every line of text is a text box you can retype, in the template’s own font (the fonts are inside the file). The logo, seal and signature are pictures you can delete or change.
- Will they open in Google Docs?
- They’re made for Microsoft Word. Google Docs can open a .docx but may move the text boxes and swap the fonts, so for Google Drive, customise the template in the maker and download a PDF.
