The official probably judged that the defender covering the receiver committed the pass interference and not the safety intercepting the football. In high school, the pass does not have to be "catchable" for there to be pass interference.
The penalty enforcement is correct for high school rules, 15 yards from the previous spot and an automatic first down.
