Catholic High School is proud to announce that our 2025 Catholic High School Hall of Fame inductee is Mr. Thomas A. “Tim” Barfield Jr. ’82.

Tim currently serves as the President of CSRS, LLC, a Baton Rouge–based architectural and engineering consulting firm, which was acquired by Westwood Professional Services in June 2025. Beginning in January 2026, he will assume the role of Senior Vice President of Program Management at Westwood, one of the nation’s fastest-growing architecture and engineering firms headquartered in Plano, Texas.

Prior to joining CSRS, Tim held several senior roles in Louisiana State Government, including Secretary of the Department of Revenue, Executive Counsel to the Governor, and Executive Director of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.

In the private sector, he has served in executive leadership positions at two publicly traded companies, including roles as president, chief operating officer, chief development officer, general counsel, and managing director of European operations.

Tim began his career as an attorney, serving as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Frank J. Polozola, a CHS alumnus from the Class of 1959 and Hall of Fame member. He later practiced as an associate with a national law firm, where he focused on corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic transactions.

As an active community leader, he has served on the boards of several educational, community, and nonprofit organizations, including the CHS Foundation.

Tim attended Louisiana State University, where he earned a B.S. in Business Administration and a J.D. from Paul M. Hebert Law Center.

Tim and his wife, Nan, have four children: Thomas, CHS Class of 2014, and his wife Lily live in Houston, Texas; Ann Marie and her husband Eric Dworkin live in Dallas, Texas; Clare lives in New York City; and Daniel, CHS Class of 2020, lives in New York City. Tim’s father, Tommy, was a member of the CHS Class of 1953 and his grandfather, Danny, attended St. Vincent’s Academy.

The Catholic High School community will honor Mr. Barfield at the 40th Annual Founders Banquet on December 4th in the Brother Donnan Berry, S.C. Student Center.

Congratulations!
