The MSAD #50 public education system mission statement indicates that the district is organized and staffed to pursue excellence in education for the benefit of all the students in the communities served. It is the district's goal to help students develop the knowledge and skills that they will need to continue their education after graduation and/or to enter an occupation. In accordance with the mission statement, the school counselors employed by the district are working together to continuously develop, coordinate, direct and evaluate a comprehensive developmental guidance program for all students from Kindergarten through Grade twelve. 

Services currently offered at all grade levels include individual and group counseling, classroom instruction, individual appraisal and testing of students, educational advising and placement, as well as consultation with parents, teachers, administrators, and mental health and medical professionals. These various interventions will hopefully produce measurable outcomes for each student in the areas of learning, personal and social development, and career and vocational development. The guidance curriculum written and adopted in 1991 by the MSAD #50 Curriculum Committee serves as a guideline for coordinating and evaluating services for all students.

Each of the district's school counselors has a Master's degree in Counselor Education with School Guidance as a specialized area of study. In addition, each counselor is certified by the State of Maine's Department of Educational and Cultural Services as a School Counselor for Kindergarten through Grade twelve.

The counselors in MSAD #50 are committed to human growth and development as well as community development, and they share an appreciation for diverse individuals and lifestyles. The counselors of the district support the guidance program's mission of helping students to develop self-esteem, and to make responsible decisions and deal effectively with change, as well as to make valuable contributions to their communities and society-at-large.
