The "Honors" Section on the Common App

It states “if you have received any honors related to your academic achievements beginning with the ninth grade or international equivalent, please indicate number of honors.”

What exactly does this mean? Our high school has something called an Honors Diploma, which mostly has to do with course selection…does this count? I don’t think we do Honor Roll in high school, I can check, but would that count? I know that my son hasn’t received any super special awards that like the top 5 students tend to get…is this what that is about?

Thanks!
