Assuming you are using wordpress 3+ You can do the following.

  1. Save your html into your theme dir as a php page, name it something like template-home.php
  2. Add the following to the top of that page /* Template Name: Custom Homepage */
  3. Create a new page inside wordpress. Name it anything you like such as "Static Home"
  4. In the right sidebar under "Page Attributes" there should be a dropdown containing your "Custom Homepage" template. Select it and save.
  5. Go to Settings -> Reading. Check the "A static page" under "Front page displays:" and select your page that you made in step 3. Your static page should now be the homepage.
