big rock educational services

Big Rock Educational Services (BRES) is a hands-on and collaborative consulting service partnering with traditional public district schools, charter schools and leader training organizations. BRES was founded in May 2014 by Matt Khirallah and Scott Hudnor who both share a passion for ensuring that all students receive a high-quality education. Initially meeting in September of 2010, Matt joined Scott at the recently opened Uplift Luna Preparatory, an elementary charter school in Dallas, Texas. While working together at Uplift Luna they realized that although they both shared the same passion for high student achievement they also possessed distinctly different and valuable skill sets that led to the school’s success. When the time came for the opening of a new middle and high school, they both jumped at the opportunity to open and co-lead this campus. Matt was able to run the business and operations side of the new campus which allowed Scott to focus his strength on running the instructional side. Operating since 2014 and working with over 100 schools across the country, BRES has achieved numerous successes. This includes elevating schools from the threat of being shut down to providing a high quality of education for kids. Matt and Scott have learned that the most impactful method of helping schools succeed is not the traditional consulting model of collecting large amounts of data over a long period of time and submitting recommendations for improvement. But rather working side by side with school and district leadership teams to show them the way to success providing guidance and coaching along the way.
