I suppose that does make sense, as the diploma is what you get at the end of the education, and the degree is what you accomplished while there.

And, since there's no specialization with high school things, you get both diplomas and degrees in universities, but only diplomas in high school.

But, yeah, I was just thinking of it as, "you've accomplished this, so you have a high school degree", but, without going down a rabbit hole, I'd guess you're completely correct.

So, thanks for the correction.
