I have static page call ‘homepage’ in a template called ‘HomePage Template’

This is the code for HomePage-Template.php 

<?php
/*
 *  Template name: HomePage Template
 *  Description: Homepage Template use to create your home page as a default view.
 *
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class="grid-12">
        <?php//get page content and display ?>
        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?//this will echo the page content ?>
            <?php the_content(''); ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

<?//php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Primary Question: Is there anything needed to activate or add a featured image option in the editor for pages?

  1. WordPress defaults to only having featured images “turned on” for posts.

    To activate featured images for pages, simply add this line (to functions.php or elsewhere):

    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

    That’s it!

    Still not working?
    If you still don’t see the featured-image meta box in the editor for pages, be sure to check the Featured Image checkbox in the Screen Options dropdown (top right tab in the editor when on a new/edit page/post screen).

  2. you can get page thumbnail same as like post

    <?php
/*
 *  Template name: HomePage Template
 *  Description: Homepage Template use to create your home page as a default view.
 *
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

    <div class="grid-12">
        <?php//get page content and display ?>
        <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
        <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
            <?//this will echo the page content ?>
        <?php 
         if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { // check if the post has a Post Thumbnail assigned to it.
         the_post_thumbnail();
         } 
         ?>
            <?php the_content(''); ?>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>

<?//php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
