About Us

Why we do this work

Our underlying belief is that every student should have the opportunity to achieve success.  We’ve learned from research and studying the best practices of high performing school leaders; the ones that identify, prioritize, and have the disciplined action to consistently implement the big rocks produce the highest student achievement.

What is a Big Rock?

A big rock is any school system that has a high impact on student achievement.
Based on best practices of the highest performing schools and our experience as former school leaders, schools that select and prioritize the big rocks are the ones that produce the highest student achievement.

Our Story

Big Rock Educational Services (BRES), LLC is a hands-on, collaborative and metrics-based 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.

Since its founding, BRES has worked nationally in over 150 schools supporting campus and network leaders in realizing their respective visions for excellence. The team at BRES has learned that the most impactful method of helping schools succeed is not the traditional consulting model, but rather working side by side with school and district leadership teams, collaboratively achieving goals together, and building capacity for long-term sustainability.

Our team is full of core-value aligned people who are passionate and dedicated to our mission of improving the quality of education for every child.
