Honor Roll Certificate

Honor roll certificates recognise students whose grades meet a threshold for a grading period. Schools usually run tiers (for example "A" and "A/B", or Principal's List above Honor Roll), so state the tier and the period clearly.

Questions people ask

How do I print honor roll certificates from our gradebook?

Export the qualifying students to CSV or Excel with columns like name, tier and GPA, then upload to the bulk generator and map the tier to the title.

What is the difference between honor roll and principal's list?

It varies by school, but the principal's list is typically the higher tier (for example all A grades), with honor roll for A/B.

Should I include the GPA?

Optional. Many schools include the tier and period only, to avoid comparing students.
