1. The
name of the high school
We
will NOT add the word "school;" type the name exactly
as you want it to appear. (For example, enter "Wilson
High School" instead of Wilson High") If you do not
have a school name, or if your school name is unusually
long or includes an acronym, please read this .
Please don't waste your time and ours
by typing in the name of a public high school. We
do not fill such orders.
2. Optional: City and
state of school
This
information is not always found on a High School diploma,
but is an option which we recommend. If selected,
city and state will be placed below the school name
in a script font. Alternately, this space may also
be used for a school motto, if you have one. (Maximum
40 characters and spaces.)
(Leave
this field empty if you do not want either)
3. The name of the Graduate:
Full
names (rather than initials) are normally used on
a diploma.
4. Gender of graduate:
Male
Female
5. The date on the diploma.
If you give us "May 22" for the date, the diploma
will read "dated this twenty-second day of May..."
etc. However, if you prefer to have only the month
and year on the diploma, you may select "no specific
day" for the date. (Without a day listed, the diploma
would follow this format: "Dated this month of May...."
etc.)

(Note:
After making your selection from the drop down menu,
be sure to click outside the box to "lock in"
your choice. Otherwise, you may mistakenly change
the data when you use the scroll button on your mouse.)
6. Indicate your choice of wording:
The
diploma you are ordering reads "It is
the culmination of his/her High School education,
a milestone at which we recognize...." etc. Would
you like to:
Leave it as written - "It is the
culmination of his/her High School education..."
OR
Change
it to read "It is the culmination of twelve
years of Christian education..." OR
Change
it to read "It is the culmination of twelve
years of home education..."
7. Choose the seal design:
23kt gold will be applied
to the seal and also to the initial letter of your
school name.
(This is seal goes in the center of the diploma between
the signature lines. A small, rectangular "honors
seal" may also be added to the diploma: they
are offered below.)
"Excellence in Homeschooling" gilded seal.
"Soli
Deo Gloria" gilded seal
8. Indicate the Bible verse of your choice:
(There is no extra charge to use one of our standard
verses. If you want to use your own Bible verse there
is a $3.99 charge.)
No Bible verse on the diploma
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the
plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to
prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future."
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) "The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of
the holy is understanding."
Proverbs 3: 5- 6 (KJV) "Trust in the
Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and
he shall direct thy paths."
I want to use my own verse. Check this
box and enter the verse in the text box below. (adds
$3.99)
Custom Bible verse:
Write your verse in the box below, deleting the word
"none." We will print it exactly as you give it to
us. Maximum number of characters:180. The field below will show 100 characters and spaces, but will allow you to enter up to 180.This option adds $3.99 to the cost.
Note: The script
font used for the Bible verse does not have Roman
numerals. If you are using a book like "II Peter"
you should choose to use the numeral ("2 Peter") or
write out the name of the book like this: "Second
Peter." Please don't give us the Roman numerals, or
your order will be delayed while we take the time
to contact you.
Also: words written
in all capital letters, such as "LORD" or
"NKJV" can be problematic in the script
font. The capital letters have flourishes that can
overlap, making them hard to read. We will put it
on the diploma the way you give it to us, but we ask
you to consider this information when you type your
verse.
9 . Select the Lettering style for the student's
name: (see
samples )
Computer-printed type in the same
style as the school name
Calligraphy (hand lettered)
There is a $5.50 extra charge for hand calligraphy, and it adds one day to the production of the order.
10. Give us the titles that go beneath
the signature lines:
Because
you are issuing the diploma, you will sign the signature
lines yourself: this is for the titles that are placed
under the lines. If there will be only one person
signing the diploma, we add a line for the signer
to write the date that they signed it. This simply
makes it look more balanced. If you need this arrangement,
chose the third option.
If
you don't see the signature line option that you want,
select any one, submit your order, and then follow
the directions below for a wording change. There is
no charge to change the signature line titles.
Left side of diploma / Right side of diploma
Signature of Administrator / Signature of Instructor
Signature of Father / Signature of Mother
Dated by Administrator / Signature of Administrator
Signature of Pastor / Signature of Principal

to the diploma text.
