History
The school was founded in 1968 and named after the Telstar satellite. In 1968, a controversy brewed up when a local Baptist minister attempted to get the school to not use the novels "Demian" by Hermann Hesse, "The Emperor of Ice-Cream" by Brian More, and "Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes in an English class.
