school
It may vary from one dialect to another, but in US English, school is a generic term -- it can apply to any level of institutional learning, from kindergarten to university. So you can use either school or a more specific term, like university.
everything is possible in US English. You are considered GRADUATED after high school.
Fellow guest, what else would you be other than a graduate of high school after graduating high school? Are you stupid or something?
a graduate is someone who holds a four year degree in a specialized field.

In US English, graduation is another generic term -- it happens after the successful completion of any level of schooling. Generally we qualify it by saying "high school graduate" or "college graduate" or specify the degree obtained -- bachelor's, master's, Ph.D., post-doc, etc. We wouldn't usually say "I am a graduate in Electrical Engineering" -- we would say "I have a degree in Electrical Engineering" or "I have a (master's, bachelor's, etc.) in Electrical Engineering."
So it's not that "anything is possible" in US English -- we may simply apply specific terms differently than other varieties.

Yes, in the US school is a generic term -- it can apply to any educational institution as opposed to Britain, where this word is hardly ever used in connection with universities.
