English term or phrase: high school guidance counselor
As far as I'm aware there is no such person in German high schools. I remember that before I went to uni I saw somebody from the careers guidance department at the university.

Has anybody come across this before, and how would you translate it?

High School-Laufbahnberater


Explanation:
I would not use Karriere hier.
Education is usually called Laufbahn in German. Or use Berater für die High School-Laufbahn.

Schulberater (an höheren/weiterführenden Schulen)


Explanation:
"Fächerwahl :
Neben Englisch und amerikanischer Geschichte kannst du aus einer Palette von Fächern frei wählen. Die Wahlfächer sind nicht an jeder Schule gleich, du belegst fünf bis sieben Fächer pro Term. Abhängig vom Angebot an deiner Schule könntest du einen Theaterkurs wählen oder deine ersten eigenen Fotos im Fotoklub entwickeln, auf Picassos Spuren im Kunstkurs wandeln oder deine eigene web page gestalten. Dein Berater an der Schule (guidance counselor), der Betreuer und deine Gastfamilie helfen dir beim Einschreiben in der Schule."
