I think it is more semantics and definitions for the most part.
Ejections carry the penalty of "out of sight, out of sound" which means the ejected person leaves.
Since HS players are minors and require supervision we don't impose the penalty of "ejection" on a player. A player is "restricted to the dugout". An adult (coach or other bench personnel) can be ejected. NFHS also allows us the intermediary penalty of a restriction to the dugout for the adult personnel.
