History
Originally founded as a K-8 school in 1998, classes met in the former Big Rapids High School building on North State Street.
In 1999, the school added a ninth grade level and continued adding one grade level per year. In August 2002, Crossroads became a K-12 school. In that same year, the school began construction of its new high school building across West Spruce Street. Construction was completed in February 2003, and high school classes moved to that building afterward.
The school held commencement ceremonies for the class of 2003, the school's inaugural class, on May 30, 2003. The first senior class consisted of 23 students.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
