Does a high school diploma count toward "Two or more certificates, diplomas..."?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if I mis-interpreted the Express entry guidelines. I'm from the US, so ECAs typically consider US schooling equal to Canadian. I have a standard US High School Diploma, and also a Bachelor's (4-year) degree from a university.

When I filled out my EE profile, I indicated that I only had one degree (the BS) as that is all I sent in for the ECA. I'm wondering if that was a mistake, and I should also send my High School diploma for the ECA. Specifically, I saw that the EE matrix states:
"Secondary diploma (high school graduation)"
and
"Two or more certificates, diplomas, or degrees. One must be for a program of three or more years"

Given they use the word diploma when referring to high school, does that mean I actually qualify for the points for two certificates/diplomas/degrees (with my 2 credentials being a high school diploma and a 4-year university degree)? Thanks!
