According to Clay's profile, he's from IL. In IL, "certified" is a level of official -- officials are either Registered, Recognized or Certified.
Officials must be Licensed (and, thus, at one of the levels above) to work games. Based on your comment, I'm guessing that MO's "Certified" = IL's "Licensed."

Thanks for the reply. That's interesting, I did not know that. Do you know how those levels are determined? Thanks.

Yes, I do know how those levels are determined.
Assuming that you want to know ... It's based on experience, testing and ratings. After two years at one level, the official can test for the next (by taking the Pat2 exam) and getting a certain number of officials and coaches (6 total, with at least 2 of each, I think) to indicate that the official is capable of being at the next level.
More detail (and probably more accuracy) is at ihsa.org
