Spanish term or phrase: bachiller

Hola, sé que bachiller se dice "high school graduate". La duda que tengo es la siguiente. En los documentos referidos a estudiantes universitarios siempre se hace referencia al alumno como "bachiller" y luego se coloca su nombre. Por ejemplo:

"Por medio de la presente, se hace constar que el **bachiller** XXXXXX, ... se encuentra cursando estudio en XXX en YYYY universidad."

¿Qué se debe hacer en inglés? ¿Se coloca "high school graduate" delante del nombre o no?

Muchas gracias por adelantado

no como título

Explanation:
Dear Smash: en nuestra cultura latina estamos obsesionados con distinguirnos del resto y ponemos Dr, Ingeniero, Arq, etc, etc, o cualquier título + o - rimbombante que aparezca, pero en inglés no existe la misma tendencia. Si te resulta relevante agregar la info de que esa persona es bachiller, yo lo po´ndría como aposición por algún lado

Una opción un poco más corta que "high school graduate" y que además podés usar si ya usaste el otro termino sin sonar repetitiva.
