In the NFHS it is the ball that determines safety or touchback or touchdown. Of course in your play it would be a touchback because it was a kick into the endzone...but in the NFHS you can face the same situation involving an interception. In that case, as you described it, it would be a touchback because the ball has to completely leave the endzone before it is considered to be in the field of play (i.e. out of the endzone)
