Ask your teacher why you would be stupid enough to use a widely recognized template if you were trying to get away with actual plagiarism. My opinion is it is okay to use a template if you fully understand all of the functionality it brings to the table. It is no different than using a calculator if you've memorized simple arithmetic but just want to ensure accuracy, precision and speed in your math work.
