The use of a high school observatory to augment our understanding of the metallicity dependence of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation. The metallicity dependence of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation is of crucial importance in Astrophysics. More data is needed to definitively answer this question. One aspect where existing databses could be improved is for Galactic Cepheids. Here we report on an attempt to use a high school observatory in upstate New York to augment multi-wavelength data on Galactic Cepheids. This project will have significant educational value for undergraduates and high school students.
